Blokes in the Smokes.

Arthur Fisher and John Ammons. University of Tennessee Plant, Soil & Env. Club, Dept of Plant Sciences, Knoxville, TN 37996

The Environmental and Soil Science Club visited the White Oaks Sink in the Great Smokey mountains with one of the park’s soil scientists to observe the area’s unique soils and geology.  There we discussed reasons as to why the soils were somewhat acidic and how the same reason caused the shallow depth as well.  The Whit Oaks Sink also contains a discontinuity of parent material which lends further reason to the acidity and shallow depth.
