Abstract
Alpine tundra soils and soils formed under krummholz in our study area differ little in key characteristics including effective soil depth, differences in compaction, horizonation, or profile development indices. Soils at these sites may be significantly older (i.e., late Pleistocene) and are more well developed than has been reported in the literature. Soil compaction at turf-exfoliated sites was the only soil-related variable varying spatially at a scale associated with tree seedling establishment in alpine tundra.
