One pit was located near the watershed outlet, while the other was located at an elevation approximately half way between the watershed outlet and the watershed crest. Samples were collected from the combined Oi and Oe horizons, the combined Oa and A horizons, the 0-10 cm mineral soil layer, the 10-20 cm mineral soil layer, the layer from 20 cm to bedrock or C horizon, and the C horizon where present. A “quantitive pit” approach was used to determine the mass of soil in each layer per square meter of land surface area. This allowed for the computation of element pools in the soils. Chemical analyses included total C and N, pH, exchangeable cations, organically bound Al and H, and total contents of 26 elements using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry. The methods and a summary of the results may be found in Johnson (2013, Annals of the New York Academy of Science, vol. 1298, pp. 30-42). These results are expected to be useful in future monitoring efforts through resampling of the study sites.Catskills Soil Pit CoordinatesUTM Coordinates to the soil pits visited throughout the CatskillsVMC.1279.2539mySQLhttps://www.uvm.edu/femc/data/archive/project/soil_mass_chemistry_in_25_catskill_headwater_catchments/dataset/catskills-soil-pit-coordinates2010-06-012014-05-31EastingEastingNo description for this attributeintno dataElevationElevationNo description for this attributeintno dataNorthingNorthingNo description for this attributeintno dataPlotPlotNo description for this attributeintno dataSiteSiteNo description for this attributetextWatershedWatershedNo description for this attributetext
