The Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) program is a national network of
consistently designed large scale experiments intended to evaluate effects of
soil porosity and organic matter on plant production and identify useful
measures or surrogates for monitoring soil productivity and the status of soil
quality. The Missouri site is located on the Carr Creek State Forest in Shannon County Missouri ![More.](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090930195322im_/http://www.ncrs.fs.fed.us/global-websites/images/buttons/more.gif)
LTSP Key Points
- Evaluate timber management impacts on LTSP
- Evaluate the sustainability of managed stands
- Set calibration and soil monitoring standards
- Evaluate forest practices to enhance productivity
