Soil and rocks provide the foundation for ecosystems in the White Mountains. They supply nutrients, sequester carbon, and support an intricate web of life above and below. This talk explores how patterns of topography, hydrology, and vegetation form soils and break down rocks at Hubbard Brook. These patterns lead to differences in nutrient content and carbon sequestration across the landscape. Join us in zooming across different scales to investigate unique and surprising features in till and bedrock. These features are then connected with the overall geological and ecological context. This presentation will give attendees a new perspective on what’s going on underground in the forests of the White Mountains.
