Abstract:	This dataset documents all soil profiles were located with GPS (2 meter horizontal accuracy) that have been described by genetic horizon for the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest within the White Mountain National Forest, NH. 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.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

The general study associated with each soil description is indicated by an abbreviation. The primary person observing the soil profile and writing the soil profile description is identified. In order to be included, pedon coordinates must have a horizontal accuracy of +/- 2 m. Thus, pedons described pre-GPS are not included.
