LTEM - Soils Monitoring
Adema G. LTEM - Soils Monitoring
The initial soils study in the Rock Creek watershed was conducted by the SCS. This study consisted of two elements: (1) a baseline geographic inventory of existing soils and accessory properties across the Rock Creek watershed, and (2) detailed soil descriptions and characterizations of soil at four individual sites. The second component of the soil monitoring plan involved the establishment of long-term monitoring sites. Four sites were selected for long-term soils monitoring in the Rock Creek watershed. Finally, a parkwide soils inventory was conducted by NRCS. Soil delineations were made using stereoscopic photo-interpretation of color infrared photography.
