Soils:
Loam Frigid Typic Haploxeroll derived from basalt, 60-90 cm deep
Fire Regime:
Historically frequent to moderately frequent (10-70 years), low intensity to mixed severity fires. Woodland invasion suggests that the majority of these communities have not burned since the late 1800’s. As woodlands gain dominance, the fire regime shifts to infrequent, high-intensity fires.
