Abstract
GEOMORPHIC SETTING: The site is part of the landform creating Cape Cod. Area soils consist of glacial outwash and moraine deposits, many of which form steep noncohesive slopes. Area soils permit infiltration of even the highest rainfall volumes when they are covered with forest vegetation and leaf litter. However, if the forest cover is disturbed, many local soil types become highly susceptible to both surficial erosion and to deeper seated slope failures (Fig. 1)
