This presentation discusses specifics of soil testing, including proper management practices and components to be aware of when testing. Increasingly, the importance of soil testing before prescribing use of fertilizers is recognized, but all soil tests are not created equally; agricultural soil metrics are not appropriate for use in landscapes. Moreover, relevant soil test data can be correlated with careful site observations to learn more about what constitutes sustainable levels of organic matter and nutrient levels. Learning how to interpret soil tests by ground-truthing with site conditions allows arborists and landscape managers to understand how rhizospheres are currently functioning and what, if anything, should be added.
