Haplorthods — Selected Pedon 



Waumbek series, Taxadjunct (Pedon 3). The site location is 463m, above sea 

 level on a toe slope position of the glaciated uplands. The pedon site is located 

 approximately in the center of compartment 30. This moderately well drained 

 soil developed in stony sandy glacial till derived mostly from granitic and 

 schistose rocks. Dominant vegetation is yellow birch (Bctulci liitca) and sugar 

 maple (Acer saccharum).

Fragiorthods — Selected Pedon 



Marlow series (Pedon 5). The site location is 400m above sea level on a 

 mid-slope position of the glaciated uplands. The pedon site is located in the 

 southwestern corner of compartment 22, about 60 meters north of Bear Notch 

 Road. This well drained soil developed in glacial till and has a compact pan at 84 

 cm. Dominant vegetation is beech (Fagus grandifolia) with striped maple (Acer 

 pennsylvanicum) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum).
