 The Bartlett Experimental Forest is an active research section of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. This terrestrial field site covers almost 16 square kilometers of mixed forest that was heavily logged until the beginning of the 20th century. Scientific research has been conducted at the site since the 1930s, focusing mostly on forest dynamics and management, wildlife ecology, and remote sensing. A 116 foot tall flux tower rises above the canopy to collect meteorological data, and a series of five soil plots are placed within the tower airshed to collect data at the surface and subsurface of the site.
