Slope: 20-50%. Aspect: Northwest. The underlying geology of this area is of Devonian origin and characterized as the Duncannon Member of Catskill Formation. It is characterized by grayish-red sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone in fining-upward cycles; conglomerate occurs at base of some cycles. The sandstones which comprise the Duncannon Member are fine to very coarse grained and grayish red to grayish red-purple in color. The Duncannon Member is known to be crossbedded to planar bedded in beds anywhere from 3 to 9 meters thick. Conglomerates have been spotted at the base of the Duncannon Member. The Duncannon Member is poorly exposed in most areas except along the Lehigh River. The conglomerate portion of this member has been known to form ridges and ledges with thicknesses approaching 228 meters. (Source: USGS Pennsylvania Geologic Map Data). The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Dystrochrepts, boulder soils. These soils are characterized by coarse-silty loess over residuum weathered from sedimentary rock and located on steep ridges along the upper third of the mountainflank. These soils are comprised of cobbles, stones or boulders (9%), well-drained, and approximately 1 meter or less to lithic bedrock.

Gray | Pennsylvania, United States | NA | | | 2023 | COLLECTED | 10/01/2023 | Woodlands along Pine Creek near the Harmonyville Road bridge. | 40.18764500, -75.76732200 | 141 | Moist to mucky, wet woodland conditions along Pine Creek. Much of the site is very wet due to recent rains; though, earlier in the year, the soils were only moist. Plants grow in both well-drained mesic conditions as well as seasonally wet conditions. They do not grow in standing water anywhere in this location. Plants in this population are found mostly in the shade and partial shade of deciduous trees; there are occasional gaps that offer higher light conditions as well. Slope: 0-2%. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is of Precambrian origin and characterized as the Graphitic Felsic Gneiss. This includes Pickering Gneiss and small areas of marble; dominantly quartz and feldspar with varying amounts of graphite and various metamorphic minerals; medium grained, light to dark gray and greenish gray; sedimentary origin. (Source: USGS Pennsylvania Geologic Map Data). The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Hatboro Silt Loam Series. The Hatboro Series consists of very deep and poorly drained soils formed in alluvium derived from metamorphic and crystalline rock. They are on flood plains. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderately high to high. Solum thickness ranges from 50 to 150 cm. Depth to bedrock ranges from 1.5 to 3 meters or more. Organic carbon decreases irregularly with depth or is greater than 0.2 percent directly above any strongly contrasting C horizon. The depth to strongly contrasting sand and gravel is more than 100 cm or the transition is greater than 12.5 cm. Content of gravel ranges from 0 to 10 percent in the solum and from 0 to 80 percent in the C horizon. Mica flakes are common in the solum, and the C horizon contains thin lenses of mica. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid through neutral to a depth of 75 cm and from moderately acid through slightly acid below 75 cm.

Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the Jackson Group Undifferentiated. The units of the Jackson Group are the Yazoo Clay and Crystal River and Moodys Branch Formations. Descriptions of the members of the Yazoo Clay follow in descending order. Shubuta Member - in western Alabama consists of light-greenish-gray to white plastic fossiliferous, calcareous clay containing irregular calcareous nodules. From the Tombigbee River eastward, the Shubuta becomes more calcareous and grades into massive clayey glauconitic limestone. Eastward from the Alabama River, equivalent beds grade into the Crystal River Formation. Pachuta Marl Member - light-greenish-grey glauconitic, fossiliferous clayey sand and sandy limestone traceable from western Alabama eastward to Covington County where it grades into the Crystal River Formation. Cocoa Sand Member - yellowish-gray firm calcareous, fossiliferous fine to medium sand or sandy limestone or greenish-grey micaceous, calcareous, very clayey sand. Calcareous and clayey sand equivalent to the Cocoa is traceable from western Alabama to the Conecuh River area. (Source: USGS Alabama Geological Map Data). The surface soil profile of this portion of the bluffs along the Alabama River are characterized as Saffell-Lucy (Flomaton) Series Complex soils. The Saffell Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in loamy and gravelly marine sediments of the Tertiary Age and have acid reaction. These soils are found on the upper portion of the bluffs along the Alabama River. The Lucy Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on uplands. They formed in sandy and loamy marine and fluvial sediments of the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area. Soil reaction runs from strongly to moderately acid. The Flomaton Series consists of very deep, excessively drained, rapidly permeable soils on uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area. They formed in gravelly sandy marine sediments and also have an acid reaction. The remainder of soils are of miscellaneous origin.

| 6 | WLP 2670 | RJL2022PA-016 | Acer negundo L. | Pennsylvania, United States | NA | | | 2022 | COLLECTED | 10/21/2022 | Plants growing in woodlands above a small unnamed creek that dumps into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek in Goddard Park, West Grove Pennsylvania, off of Wickerton Road, Chester County. Plants are found regularly but scattered in the understory of the woodlands. | 39.80426000, -75.82609300 | 105 | Plants growing in a mesic, well-drained habitat of deciduous woodlands along streams and above the riparian zone that drains toward a small unnamed creek that feeds into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. Plants generally grow in part shade to full sun, but perform best and fruit more heavily in full sun where there is abundant access to moisture. The remnant woodlands exist mostly along the steep slopes, wetlands and seeps of seasonal and year-round creeks flowing into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. The woodlands are bordered by numerous housing developments and land converted to meadows; hence there is significant first order edge that is heavily impacted by invasive plant intrusion. Despite this fact, Acer negundo is highly competitive and competes well.
Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the Glenarm Wissahickon Formation of lower Paleozoic origin and lithologically similar to oligoclase-mica schist of the Wissahickon Formation (PZw), but also includes lenticular amphibolite bodies having ocean-floor basalt chemistry.

The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Glenelg silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes. This series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum weathered from micaceous schist on uplands of the Blue Ridge and the Northern Piedmont. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderately high in the subsoil and moderately high to high in the substratum. This upper horizon of this soil is undifferentiated, mostly poorly drained sandy bottomland soils intermingled with decomposing organic litter and eroded silts and clays due to erosion.
