Four foot tall conduit markers are located at each of the 11 sampling locations in each watershed. TDR probes are located adjacent to the conduit and sample at 15 and 30 cm depths where soil depth is sufficient. Litter bags are also placed along these transects.
Soil moisture is sampled approximately every two weeks.
Litter bags are sampled intermittently. Biomass is sorted and weighed as in PAB01.
