Ltreb: Forest Ecosystem Response To Changes In Atmospheric Chemistry And Climate At The Bear Brook Watershed In Maine (Bbwm), Ivan J. Fernandez, Stephen A. Norton, Lindsey Rustad

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

The Bear Brook Watershed in Maine (BBWM) is a long-term paired, forested watershed research site with each watershed drained by a first order stream through a v-notch weir. One watershed (West Bear) has been treated bimonthly for 12 years with N and S by aerial helicopter applications, with the second watershed (East Bear) serving as the reference watershed. The objectives of this LTREB proposal are to:

1. Study the response of the calibrated East Bear Watershed to long-term patterns of ambient S, N, and base cation deposition. This will be accomplished by maintaining high quality deposition and stream export data …
