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.Vermont Long-Term Soil Monitoring ProgramHalmanJoshuaWaiteCarlWilmotSandraBurtNancyShanleyJamieWangDeaneLawsonSeanVillarsThomasBaileyScottRossDonaldDuncanJamesWrightJenniferQuintanaAngelicahuman disturbancelong term monitoringsoilcontinuous forest inventory vermont forestsforest regenerationPlot Identifying Information2002-01-01Plot-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.Provide information for relocation of plot quadrantsZ0161_2459_YJAXCNVMC.161.2459mySQLNatural Resources Conservation Service, Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative, University of Vermont, USDA Forest Service, Green Mountain National Forest and Northern Research Station, and US Geological Survey.
