Abstract

This chapter is a review and synthesis of research conducted at Fernow Experimental Forest (FER) on stream nutrients and biological responses. It is intended to inform national and regional water quality regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, West Virginia Division of Forestry, and West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR), about existing results of relevant scientific studies that are available at FER, and to identify future field and synthetic research of potential use to regulatory agencies that might be conducted at FER.
