Pedon 6 



Unnamed series. The site location is 420m above sea level on a mid-slope 

 position of the glaciated uplands. The pedon site is located in the southeast 

 corner of compartment 22, about 125 meters north of Bear Notch Road. This 

 well drained soil developed in glacial till and has a compact pan at 94 cm. 

 Dominant vegetation is sugar maple (Acer sacchanim) with white birch (Betula 

 papyrifera), yellow birch (Betula lutea), and beech (Fagus grandifolia).

Pedon 7 



Unnamed series. The site location is 420m above sea level on a mid-slope 

 position of the glaciated uplands. The pedon site is located south of Bear Notch 

 Road and opposite the boundary separating compartments 22 and 23. This well 

 drained soil developed in stony compact glacial till derived mostly from granitic
