Abstract
The Gulf-Atlantic Coastal Plain (GACP) physiographic region is an important agricultural production area within the southeastern U.S. that extends from Delaware in the Northeast to the Gulf Coast of Texas. The region consists mainly of low-elevation flat to rolling terrain with numerous streams, abundant rainfall, a complex coastline, and many wetlands. The GACP Long Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) site is representative of the Tifton-Vidalia Upland (TVU) physiographic subprovince which has relatively homogeneous geology, soils, parent materials, land use, agricultural management, and economic and social patterns.
