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 regenerationVermont Long-term Soil Monitoring Database2002-01-012017-09-01A database of all data collected as part of the Vermont Long-term Soils Monitoring program, including visit information, vegetation, soil descriptions and soil chemistry. 20210702155621_VermontLTSM_2002-2017_20210702.accdbVMC.161.3718mySQLRoss, D.S., Bailey, S.W., Villars, T.R., Quintana, A., Wilmot, S.W., Halman, J.
