  • In July 2019, quantitative soil pits were excavated alongside replicate power cores from three mature oak-pine forest stands at Thompson Farm (Durham, NH) to characterize soil physical and chemistry properties as well as root depth profiles in control and treatment plots associated with the Thompson Farm DroughtNet project, as well as in the footprint of the Ameriflux tower. Mean total sampling depth across all pits and cores was 84cm, though half of samples reached 100 cm or deeper. Chemical and isotopic analyses for each sample layer include pH, total N, total C, and stable isotope ratios of N and C. Physical data include soil mass, rock volume, bulk density, and soil texture. Oven-dried root mass in each sample layer was recorded in multiple size categories (from pits) or sorted to species (from power cores).
