  • Cone Pond Watershed: Soil Profiles (Pedons), 1988-2023

    This dataset documents pedons (soil profiles) sampled at Cone Pond Watershed, Thornton, New Hampshire. Since the early 1980’s, Cone Pond, on the Pemigewasset District of the White Mountain National Forest, has been an active research satellite site to the nearby Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. In 1988, intensive monitoring began as part of a comprehensive watershed scale ecosystem study. A weir was built on the main inlet stream, just above its mouth at Cone Pond, to monitor streamflow. Two rain gages were installed to monitor atmospheric deposition and multiple studies of major ecosystem components were initiated. Soil profiles documented in this dataset were sampled between 1988 and 2003. All descriptive profile and horizon data as well as chemical analyses of samples of genetic horizons are included in this dataset. Samples from 123 of these horizons have been accessioned into the Hubbard Brook physical sample archive; the archived mass of each is included in the horizon table. In addition to these pedons sampled in detail, a number of reconnaissance observations, made at a lower level of detail, and without sampling, were made in 2023 in order to validate a hydropedologic soil model created at Hubbard Brook. These data are included in a separate table.

    These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
