  • This dataset consists of raster files predicting spatial patterns in soils for the entire Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. Eight soil units are used, following a hydropedologic approach, based on relationships between soil genetic horizon presence and thickness, and the frequency and depth of groundwater fluctuations. Nine raster files on a five-meter grid are presented, including one raster each showing the probability of presence of each of the eight soil units; the ninth raster represents the soil unit most likely to be present at each grid cell. The methods section of the metadata includes descriptions of the eight soil units and guidance for users of the model outputs.

    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.
