    Appendix a Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There

    Appendix A Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There his list of places to visit is arranged by biophysical region. Within biophysical regions, the places are listed more or less north-to-south and by county. This list T includes all the places to visit that are mentioned in the natural community profiles, plus several more to round out an exploration of each biophysical region. The list of natural communities at each site is not exhaustive; only the communities that are especially well-expressed at that site are listed. Most of the natural communities listed are easily accessible at the site, though only rarely will they be indicated on trail maps or brochures. You, the naturalist, will need to do the sleuthing to find out where they are. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs if you can get them. In a few cases you will need to do some serious bushwhacking to find the communities listed. Bring your map and compass, and enjoy!

  • Alpine Soils on Mount Mansfield, Vermont

    Alpine Soils on Mount Mansfield, Vermont

    Alpine Soils on Mount Mansfi eld, Vermont, USA: Pedology, History, and Intraregional Comparison Jeffrey S. Munroe* The highest summits in the northeastern United States rise above the tree line and support Geology Dep. unique islands of alpine tundra. Little is known about the properties and history of these soils Middlebury College and it is unclear how soils compare between the separate, isolated alpine areas. As a step toward Middlebury, VT 05753 addressing this oversight, the physical and chemical properties of alpine soils were investigated on Mt. Mansfi eld, the highest mountain in Vermont. Soil thickness was determined through probing, while profi le development and horizon properties were investigated in 31 excava- tions. Soil covers ∼85% of the study area, with profi les averaging 18 cm thick (maximum of 58 cm). Most profi les demonstrate a variation on the sequence Oi, Oa and/or A, Bw or Bs (rare), AC, and Cr horizons. The Oa horizons contain signifi cantly more C, Ca, K, and Mg than A horizons, and have higher cation exchange capacity and base saturation, and lower pH values. Almost one-third of the profi les were classifi ed as Histosols, while nearly twice as many were classifi ed as Entisols. Only two profi les contained cambic horizons and were classifi ed as Inceptisols. Histosols contained signifi cantly more K and organic matter than Entisols. A buried Sphagnum layer, radiocarbon dated to approximately 1000 yr ago, suggests a wetter climate at that time. Mount Mansfi eld soils are generally thinner than those described from nearby alpine environments and contain more organic matter with higher C/N ratios.
