► Abstract
Soil samples are collected at two forested sites in Vermont to analyze soil samples and publish the results. Permanent plot markers were established at the NRCS long-term soil monitoring plots. Vegetation samples were Included in 2002. Tree regeneration data was collected starting in 2007. Regeneration data was collected again in 2012.

► Data Table
- Title: Regeneration
- Start Date: 2007-01-01
- Description: Count of all seedling and saplings tree species that were under 2 inches in DBH. Counts were done on each of the 10 sampling plots at each site. A 5 m^2 PVC square was placed on the perimeter of each plot and all seedlings whose stems originated in the square were counted. Seedlings were only counted if they had true leaves (More than just cotyledons).
- Purpose: Estimate regeneration rates.
