This project was initiated to provide baseline information about soils of the Nez Perce National Historical Park (NEPE) Weippe Prairie site. In Fall 2007, six sites representing a range in landscape position and camas density were described and sampled for a suite of chemical, physical, mineralogical analyses. In addition, equipment was installed at all six sites to monitor seasonal changes in soil moisture content at 15- and 40-cm depths, soil temperature at 15 cm, and water table levels.
