Glendon Smalley Named Emeritus Scientist at the USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station
Normal,AL -- Dr. Glen Smalley, research soil scientist, has been recognized with the Emeritus Scientist Award in recognition of his significant research contributions during his career with the USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station. He retired from the Southern Station's Silviculture Laboratory in Sewannee, TN in 1988 with 35 years of service. Dr. Smalley received his PhD in Plant and Soil Science from the University of Tennessee in 1975.
Dr. Smalley classified and evaluated forest sites for the management of a number of commercially valuable tree species. His research provided land managers with a land classification system that enabled them to subdivide forest land into logical segments having approximate equal productivity and to recognize any limitations and hazards that the landtypes imposed on forest management activities.
As Emeritus Scientist, Dr. Smalley will continue site classification mapping and interpretation of site characteristics, assist with soil mapping in Jackson County, AL, and conduct field tours and other technology transfer activities. He will work with a subunit of the Southern Research Station's Ecology and Management of Southern Appalachian Hardwood Forests research work unit that is conducting research in the Cumberland Plateau.
