Digging Deeper: Uncovering the Stories of Soil and Rocks at Hubbard Brook | Mountain Voices

Online

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.

What We Know about Cold Air Pools in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest | Mountain Voices

Online

Dense cold air tends to settle into valleys under certain weather conditions and is believed to have a strong influence on the function and biodiversity of forest ecosystems. This presentation will examine recent temperature data collected from around the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest to understand several aspects of cold air pools: when and how often they occur, how deep they can be, how cold they get, their seasonality, and the large scale weather patterns that most often cause them to form and dissipate.
