Introduction. pp. 1.
This volume is a series of papers summarizing the results of the Experimental Watershed Liming Study (EWLS). The EWLS was initiated in 1989 to investigate the application of calcium carbonate (limestone) to upland and wetland forests as a strategy to mitigate the acidity of lake water and improve fisheries. Woods Lake, in the Adirondack region of New York U. S. A. , is the site of long-term studies of surface water acidification. This whole-ecosystem manipulation was designed to be a comprehensive evaluation of the chemical and biological response of uplands, wetlands and surface waters to calcium carbonate treatment. A multidisciplinary project team conducted this investigation, including r...
S2This bibliography contains annotated citations to 156 publications in forest-watershed-management research produced by the staffs of the Allegheny and Northeastern Forest Experiment Stations from January 1931 to April 1965. Twenty-one of these publications antedate the formal establishment of watershed-management research at the Northeastern Station on July 1, 1948. The publications listed here are arranged alphabetically and chronologically by author. S3.
"The objectives of this 3-year study were to determine (1) budgets of H+, Ca+ +, CI-, NOS-N, NH3-N, and S04= for a 38.9-ha forested watershed and (2) changes in concentration of these constituents that occur in the tree canopy, the soil and bedrock, and the stream channel. Sampling points were two forest openings for bulk precipitation, 20 throughfall sites, four springs where water first seeps out of the soil, and the main stream at the watershed outlet. The most important conclusion was that sulfate is accumulating in the watershed. Average annual kglha of sulfate were: bulk precipitation = 39.9, throughfall = 53.0, and stream = 25.1. Sulfate budgets are compared with published results from five other study sites in the hardwood region of the Eastern United States and with some results from Germany.S3.
