Second annual Walker Branch Watershed research symposium

Conference · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5476737

Research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and collaborating institutions addresses the basic atmospheric, geophysical, biogeochemical, and biological processes that regulate the response of forested ecosystems to environmental variation. Research results presented at the Environmental Sciences Division's First Annual Watershed Research Symposium highlight a multi-scale, integrated approach to the complex feedbacks that influence the interactions of a forest ecosystem with both the atmosphere and the geosphere. Much of the research is focused on Walker Branch Watershed, but work at other field sites, as well as laboratory experiments, addresses issues such as the physiological responses of plants and ecosystem processes to elevated CO{sub 2} levels, and the response of high elevation forests to atmospheric deposition and gaseous pollutants. This report is a compendium of abstracts of the symposium presentations.
