Mass and Chemistry of Organic Horizons and Surface Mineral Soils on Watershed 6 at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, 1976 - present

The forest floor of Watershed 6 was first sampled in 1969-70. These data include forest floor thickness, soil mass, organic matter content, and major-element composition for samples collected since 1976. Watershed 6 has been resampled at intervals varying from one to ten years. Sampling at five to ten year intervals is expected to continue. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
