  • 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.

  • The Long Trail: Abbreviated
    The Long Trail: Abbreviated By: Aaron Shore 1950 LS10779_000 Purpose Hiking the Long Trail has been a dream of mine since I came to UVM four years ago. It is America’s oldest long-distance hiking trail, measuring 270 miles from Canada to Massachusetts. I created this scrapbook so others could share my experience, and learn the history of the trail. Enjoy. LS11220_000 Camel’s Hump, 1880 LS09840_000 Sunrise from Mansfield, 1875 I began my trip in southern Vermont with James Taylor and this image in mind. I wanted to be a part of the beauty that the Vermont landscape encompassed and was known for. James Taylor, a professor at the Vermont Academy, first conceived the trail in 1910. His goal was to “make the Vermont Mountains play a larger part in the life of the people.” LS12596_000 Camels Hump, 2004 Killington Peak, 1975 LS03624_000 A view from the top of Killington Peak. The reason James Taylor first conceived the Long Trail was because he couldn’t take his students into the wilderness without bushwhacking. He wanted to be able to travel from Killington Peak to Pico Peak, a short walk on a trail. During the first 10 days of my trip, I went from excited to dismal. I rarely saw anyone else on the trail and there were far more trees than mountain top views. I finally came across this nice women who told me about the Green Mountain Club (GMC).
