Soil & Herbaceous Composition Among Differing Strata Phil Mortellaro Vegetation Ecology Summer ‘13 Mountain Research Station, University of Colorado Boulder

The Study Stratification of the Foothills/Lower Montane Soil Composition across differing strata, in the case hill slope position. Herbaceous layer in terms of variance with hill slope position and soil composition.

Betasso Preserve- lower montane/foothills Elevation ranged from 2011 meters to 1943 meters Each sampling site had a Southwest aspect Slopes: Top= 6° to 10° Mid= 3° Toe= 2° The Site

Methods Employed Transects Point Intercept/Frame Trowel

Results

Discussion Two Factor Analysis of Variance for Independent Variables Rows, Columns, RxC

Conclusion Conclusion affirms hypothesis; soil composition and plant life vary significantly with differing strata or hill slope position.
