Analysis of Soils at the National Park Service Weippe Prairie Site: Final Report Under Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Cooperative Agreement H1200040001

This project was initiated to provide baseline information about soils of the Nez Perce National Historical Park (NEPE) Weippe Prairie site. In Fall 2007, six sites representing a range in landscape position and camas density were described and sampled for a suite of chemical, physical, mineralogical analyses. In addition, equipment was installed at all six sites to monitor seasonal changes in soil moisture content at 15- and 40-cm depths, soil temperature at 15 cm, and water table levels.
