Soil Verification Pit
Soil Verification Pit : (Obs.) An excavation into the mineral soil of sufficient depth to allow assessment of the soil properties used to evaluate soil productivity and sensitivity to forest management-related disturbances. This generally requires an excavation 90 cm deep unless a water table, compact soil, or bedrock is encountered closer to the soil surface, in which case the depth to one of these layers is the minimum depth of pit required
