I am attempting to set up a micro climate/habitat for a Black Pine Snake and need some assistance on the soil composition of the Longleaf Pine Forest.
All I really need someone to do it to take a soup can sample of forest floor, dump it in a quart (or larger) jar, add water to the top, shake it up well and wait a day for everything to settle then give me the measurements of the different layers. Gravel & Sand will of course be the bottom most layer followed by dirt, composted plant matter then debris.
Anyway if anyone lives near a relatively undisturbed area of the Longleaf Pine Forests in Southern Alabama, Southeastern Mississippi or extreme Eastern Louisiana and has the time your assistance in this project would be greatly appreciated.
