Abstract
Gordon Gulch (2,590 m) lies within Arapahoe National Forest and is divided into Lower and Upper Gordon Gulch. Gordon Gulch joins North Boulder Creek approximately 16 km downstream from Niwot Ridge LTER and Green Lakes Valley (GLV).
The site is underlain by biotite gneiss and is mostly forested. Contrasting slope aspects produce differences in soils and vegetation. South-facing slopes have thinner, less-weathered rock with grasses and ponderosa pine (P. ponderosa), while north-facing slopes have thicker, more weathered rock with dense lodgepole pine (P. contorta). Gordon Gulch is characterized by low-relief remnants of a dissected Tertiary erosion surface, with weathered rock profiles up to 15 m thick.
Gordon Gulch is within the montane climatic zone.
