Abstract

A control watershed at the Fernow Experimental Watershed effectively neutralizes acids received in precipitation. However, sulfate input by precipitation greatly exceeds sulfate losses as streamflow and watershed acidification is a real concern.

Keywords

Central Appalachians, acid precipitation, nutrient cycling, sulfate budgets
