Bear Brook Watershed: Understanding nitrogen and sulfur deposition on forested watersheds, FCCI Yr 4

The Bear Brook Watershed in Maine (BBWM) is part of long-term research to determine the effects of acid deposition on surface waters and their related watersheds. BBWM program of research encompasses an array of scientific objectives that include acid deposition, climate change and carbon sequestration, nitrogen saturation, base cation depletion, and studies of the evolution of watershed biogeochemistry under prolonged experimental acidification.
Discussion: Mike Howie, American Forest Management, Ivan Fernandez, University of Maine Professor of Soil Science, and Jake Metzler, Forest Society of Maine. Topics cover the intersection of science, recovery and climate at a long-term research site, the historical and current research at the site, uncut v. managed forests, and the role of conservation efforts.
