AB The urban environment imposes severe stress upon vegetation. The problems are many, and interactions common, making simple solutions difficult. This paper on urban soils discusses basic soil physics and soil chemistry, reviews some existing literature, and describes several research efforts in Washington. Particular emphasis is placed on soil compaction and ways to minimize its deleterious effects upon vegetation.
