Abstract:

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

Soil profiles were observed between 1995 and 2022 and have been described and sampled at two levels of detail. Soil profiles in the pedon table were dug to bedrock or into the C horizon except where high boulder content limited excavation. The depth of all major soil horizons was measured and most pedons had descriptions written and physical samples collected. The horizon table contains physical observations and chemical analyses for the horizons sampled in the pedon table. Over 2500 of these horizons have had physical samples accessioned into the Hubbard Brook sample archive; the archived mass is included in the horizon table.

The reconnaissance table includes pedons observed at a lower level of detail. Small pits were generally dug to a depth of 40 cm or greater, and minimal observations, as needed, were recorded to classify the soil profile by soil map unit (hpu). These data were collected to supplement the detailed observations in the previous two data tables in support of development of a spatial model of soil distribution for the entire Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. No samples were collected from reconnaissance pits.

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.

Detailed methods are included in this dataset as a pdf file: HubbardBrookExperimentalForest_SoilProfileMethods_1995-2022.pdf
