► dataset_eml_abstractheader
Long-term monitoring of forest soils is necessary to understand the effects of continued environmental change, including climate change, atmospheric deposition of metals, and recovery from acidic precipitation. A monitoring program was initiated in 2002 at five protected forest sites in Vermont, three in Mt. Mansfield State Forest and two in the Lye Brook Wilderness Area. Every 5 years at each site, ten soil pits are dug and sampled from subplots in a 50 × 50-m plot.

- dataset_eml_datatablestartdate: 2002-01-01
- dataset_eml_datatabledescription: Plot-level information that will aid in the relocation of plots. In 2002 plots corners coordinates were measured using a Trimble. From these plot corner coordinates the center, northeastern, southeastern, southwestern, and northwestern coordinates of the four quadrants in each of the 100 subplots were calculated.
