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 regenerationTree Health Measurements2002-01-01Assessment of the species and size classes of tree species present on each of the 5 plots.
