A Lithologic Discontinuity in Brant County Soils March 11, 2016March 11, 2016March 11, 2016

Outline Introduction Study location and sites Observations Where is the lithologic discontinuity? How did it form here?

Objectives: Introduction  To determine differences in soil development between cultivated and forested sites

Location of Study

Lot 7&8, Concession 14 in Burford Township, Brant County.Lot 7&8, Concession 14 in Burford Township, Brant County.

Site Description - Cultivated Site Pit located in a corn fieldPit located in a corn field Conventional till (tillage is being practiced)Conventional till (tillage is being practiced)

Site Description - Forested Site Pit located in adjacent forested area.Pit located in adjacent forested area. Deciduous trees, shrubs, abundant leaf litterDeciduous trees, shrubs, abundant leaf litter

Objectives: Observations  Soil Profiles  Lithologic Discontinuity  Change in Mode of Deposition
