Instrumentation

• Install at each transect • Water table wells • Soil temperature probes • IRIS tubes (maybe Eh)

• Measure at the site • Air temperature • Precipitation

• To recognize and understand the development of diagnostic morphological characteristics of hydric soils on barrier island landscapes

– Measurements of water tables and reducing conditions

– Comparisons with soil morphology
