Hop On the Clayplain Train!
Church Woods is a 37-acre area positioned on a clayplain between 430 and 520 million years ago. The woods contain a vast array of plant species, including
oak trees dating over 200 years, a unique geological constitution, and several rare animal species.
Geology:
The soil is unique in different areas of church woods in a way that any
change in the forest will result in intertwined links of changes that
could alter where the animals go to feed, or where the plants grow. In
this case, the climate/weather effects the slopes of the l an acidic
environment which leaches everything out but the iron which gives
clay the reddish hue in the wetlands. As you can see, changes create
reactions that could determine what lives and what dies. Some
changes are a result from cycles which happens over a given amount
of time which impacts and because the water will drain down the soil
to the lowest area where it will in return leach organic materials and
other forms of minerals into layers which also affects what plants are
able to grow there, therefore affecting where animals eat (herbavores).
Acids from the decomposition of the organic materials creates the
entire ecosystem.
Botany
The Clayplain forest is also called oak-hickory forest. Shagbark
hickory and oak in the varieties of white, bur, swamp white, and
red, are unique to the Clayplain forest. Sugar, red, and silver
maple, and white, black and green ash are all found, as well as
American elm, basswood, hemlock, and white pine. Clayplain
forest is also home to a great diversity of shrubs and herbs, many
of which are uncommon and some that occur in Vermont only in
the Clayplain forest. The great diversity is due to high fertility, a
moderate climate, and a patchy mosaic of wet depressions- small
and large- scattered within the forest. In areas where clay is heavy
and therefore water is held in the ground, there are few coniferous
trees and many deciduous trees. The deciduous trees have
difficulty penetrating deep into the ground and “tip ups” are
common.
WILDLIFE BLURB:
The combination cedar, pine, and hardwood forest
provides a vast array of habitats for a variety of birds,
mammals, insects and amphibians. Visits under the dense
needle and leaf canopy yield coyote tracks and jumping
frogs. Whitetail deer trails spread in a network, covering all
areas of the forest. Tall White Oaks and a secluded
atmosphere provide perfect nesting conditions for the
elusive Scarlet Tanager. Drier hemlock groves and
neighboring wetlands allow for an amazing diversity of
species.
