Jon and Sarah’s house info:
Very shallow soil over bedrock, (some of it falls under geographic feature called alvar <10
cm) 5-30 cm over bedrock.
Limestone bedrock (ordoviscian limestone), soil group is called a Dummer shallow till. The
glaciation event would be a till plane, meaning that the glacier dumped material – stone is
not water worked, just slightly eroded.
Loose soil; silt loam.
Moisture regime would be fresh, well-drained.
Test sample is slightly down slope from road, but there is a ditch.
Trees were all planted between 1997-2001.
Plantation is sparser near to the highway, presumably due to salt damage.
