Samuel | Ramsey, of Franklin: Mrs Tom i Franks, of Franklin; Mrs. Mary Phillip" o i Franklin lieve that only four tone per acre Is about the maximum pro duced In a year. Others, less learned in the school of exper ience. may be surprised to learn that one ton per acre Is about the least amount of leaves cast by forest trees. Actually, an average of about two tons of dead foliage fall each year under most of our hardwood fo pests. These weights refer to freshly fallen leaves, which contain about 50 per cent by weight of water. When confronted with fig ures such as these it is not un expected that people ask. "So what? Is this important?" To foresters it is very Important; leaves represent a sort of re volving fund of forest fertility. After the annual autumn ex hibition. leaves fall to the ground and decay. Decomposi tion products enter the soil where they are absorbed by roots and re-enter the trees, eventually to become next au tumn's display. The cover of fallen leaves also Insulates the soil and prevents erosion. While this annual plant food cycle obviously is necessary to our Appalachian forests, it is far more important in the tropical rain forest. There rainfall is so great that most plant food is washed deep into the soil be neath the reach even of large tree roots; almost the only source of nutrients for these trees is decay products from newly fallen foliage. When j cleared, a tropical rain forest soil Is almost competeJy ex- | hausted after two or three j years of farming. Leaf fall usually is measur ed in one of two ways. Collec tion areas sometimes are rak ed clean so that each day's leaf accumulation can easily 1 be Identified, gathered and weighed. A more common meth od is to pla^e shallow pans or boxes beneath the trees and weigh the catch weekly. In either case it is quite simple to "blow up" results from these small samples to derive tons of leaves falling under each. a?? of fore.st trees. Heaviest leal accumulations occur In densely forested com while least foliage falls on | ridge tops where trees usually are scattered and small. Many people find it hard to belie vr that a dense cover of small sprouts and seedling trees pro duce about the same amount of foliage as does a stand of fully grown trees. And. incidentally, the ? mount of bark, twigs, fruit, and dead branches which drop from trees throughout the year weigh about as much as the autumn leaX fall.
