Average Soil Texture: Mineral - silt loam (silty clay loam); pH of Mineral Soil - 3.8
Landscape Description: Survey site is located in a forested floodplain within Glassboro Wildlife Management Area. Streams run northeast to southwest and north to south about 700' to the west and east, respectively. The forest is a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees. The town of Glassboro is to the N and W and commercial areas can be found about 1/2 mile W, along Rt. 47. While forest surrounds the ponds for at least 1/2 mile to the W, N and E, a much larger forest area extends SE within the WMA. The land is virtually flat, part of an extended floodplain surrounding Little Ease Run.
