In 1947 an investigation on soil genesis was initiated at Macdonald Collage with the objective of obtaining information regarding the mechanism of the formation of podzolic soils under forested conditions. A starting point in this investigation was the hypothesis that substances leaching from the litter of the forest floor would be of especial importance in this process by, (a) contributing to the organic matter content of these soils, especially in the B horizon, and (b) being involved in the translocation of iron and aluminum within the profile.
