Twenty sites shall be selected, focusing on the most common forested soils within the major categories of bedrock that contribute to the parent material. We will collect soil samples from 5 horizons and leaf litters of several species at each site. Factors for controlling soil formations: parent material (a main factor for this study), climate (same among plots), biota (another factor for this study), topography (Be consistent in the sampling to reduce topography effect on the results), time (same among plots) Soil Sampling (500 g) 5 Layers: O horizon, 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20+ cm, and the C Horizon For soil samples, three pits will be selected (the distance between pits are about 20 m) and then dig O horizon to 20+ cm depth for 3 pits. We will dig only one pit to C horizon. Three pitsТs soil will be composited for analysis. Leaf Litter Sampling Fifteen leaves, more than 5 species including hardwoods and softwoods Soil Core for Bulk Density Collect soil cores from each horizon to measure the variation of Ca pools with depth in the soil profile. Preparation: Road map (1), shovel (2), paper bags (more than 50 per site), ruler (2), markers (3), sharp knife (2), soil corer (3) Check lists on each sampling bag: Mark soil or core, site name, site location, collector and date, soil depth (include O horizon depth with unit), species name for litter samples, cooler, GPS unit .FP╖═ў S n % №№·її 5Б>*\Б>*5Б\Б ./GHп░йк╡╢╖═Ўў R S n ╪ ┘ ┌ ч ^ _ ····°Є°ЄЄЄ°°°ЄЄьЄъЄЄъьЄ°°°°Д╨^Д╨Д╨`Д╨$a$% ¤_ Б % ¤¤ 1Рh░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ i8@ё 8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH 2@2 Heading 1$@&5Б\Б<A@Є б< Default Paragraph FontJY@ЄJ Document Map-D M╞  А OJQJ^J%    ./GHп░йк╡╢╖═Ўў RSn╪┘┌ч^_Б'Ш0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0АА0ААШ0АўШ0Аў0ААШ0АSШ0АSШ0АSШ0АSШ0АSШ0АSШ0АSШ0АS% _ % % ╔╧▌ч+.'/1Эб╕┴ч]'333/┌ч]'  BB ParkkC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Document1.asdBB ParkeC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\My Documents\NYSERDA\Soil and Litter Sampling Plans_2005.docBB ParkeC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\My Documents\NYSERDA\Soil and Litter Sampling Plans_2005.docBB ParkeC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\My Documents\NYSERDA\Soil and Litter Sampling Plans_2005.docBB ParkeC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\My Documents\NYSERDA\Soil and Litter Sampling Plans_2005.docBB ParkeC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\My Documents\NYSERDA\Soil and Litter Sampling Plans_2005.docBB ParkeC:\Documents and Settings\Byung Bae Park\My Documents\NYSERDA\Soil and Litter Sampling Plans_2005.doc @А++╘:g++%P@  Unknown            GРЗz А Times New Roman5РАSymbol3&Р Зz А Arial5&Р ЗzaА Tahoma"qИЁ╨hрKХ&Ь┤Цf^ф ─Ёа┤┤ББ20;%2ГЁ  Soil and Litter Sampling PlansBB ParkBB Park■ рЕЯЄ∙OhлС+'│┘0АРШ└╠▄шЇ   < H T`hpxфSoil and Litter Sampling PlansioilBB ParkB PB PNormalBB Park6 PMicrosoft Word 9.0p@┤│! @°■─═T┼@lеyw┼ф■ ╒═╒Ь.УЧ+,∙о0 hpДМФЬ дм┤╝ ─ яф ╠╟╨─╩╙╞╡L ; Soil and Litter Sampling Plans Title ■   ■   ■    !"#$■   ¤   '■   ■   ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Root Entry         └F╦└yw┼)А1Table             WordDocument        "SummaryInformation(    DocumentSummaryInformation8            CompObj    jObjectPool            ╦└yw┼╦└yw┼            ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ■       └FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8Ї9▓q
