McLaughlin, Jr., S. B.

The traveler attended the first day and a half of the International Conference on Forest Decline Research at Friedrichschafen, Federal Republic of Germany, where he presented a poster, Growth and Physiology of Red Spruce in Relationship to Acidic Deposition in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA,'' by S.B. McLaughlin, C.P. Andersen, N.T. Edwards, P.J. Hanson, M.J. Tjoelker, and W.K. Roy. This stopover was a preface to the principal trip to Russia as part of a joint US-USSR Environmental Protection Agreement designed to increase exchange between scientists involved in pollution-related research. The traveler was a guest of Dr. Sergei Semenov of the USSR State Committee for Hydrometeorology and Control of Natural Environment, USSR Academy of Sciences. With a colleague, Dr. Al Heagle of the Agricultural Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), he visited four Soviet research installations, and a Biosphere Reserve field research site while traveling from Pushchino, 100 km south of Moscow, to Moscow, and on to Leningrad over a ten-day period.
