Excerpt from The Genetic Development of the Forests of Northern Michigan: A Study in Physio-Graphic Ecology; Contributions From the Hull Botanical Laboratory

The physical properties of the soil play an important role, for upon them depends the capacity of the soil to hold water. The water - holding properties of the different kinds of soil are too well known to need treatment here. The heat-absorbing and heat-retaining qualities of soils must be taken into account, for they often determine the presence or absence of certain plants.
