The absence of trees is assumed to be a result of severe droughty conditions. This community is considered to be a modern analog for the wi...

The view to the south from Bonanza Bluff over the Tanana River includes all of the floodplain study sites of the Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research area, although some of them are a few miles away. Vignette correction was selected.

Since the first image of this garden was made on July 10 (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=28793), my efforts here have been applied mostly to weeding, mulching, and eating. Normally we would be entering the most delightful three month season of fresh produce, but this year the late blight (www.nytime

The town of Addison is the flattest and the most fertile part of Vermont. The plain extending west to Lake Champlain was the bottom of a glacial lake and post-glacial estuary from 14,000 to 11,000 years ago. The clayey sediments are more than 30m deep in places. The soils are slow to dry and require powerful equipmen...

This vegetable garden is in the well-drained sandy loam of a 13,000 year old ice-contact alluvial fan. Soil fertility is enhanced by tilling under 30 cm of tree leaves each autumn, and several cm of composted cow manure each spring. During the growing season, beds are mulched with compost and old hay. Most of the pr...
