Ecological research during winter has historically been a low priority in northeastern North
America, an oversight that stems from the commonly accepted notion that there is little …

A critical component of assessing the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems
involves understanding associated changes in the biogeochemical cycling of elements …

In many parts of the world, forests are likely to face novel disturbance regimes as a result of
global change processes, and there is concern that the capacity of forest ecosystems to …

The phenological state of vegetation significantly affects exchanges of heat, mass, and
momentum between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Although current patterns can …

Most work on the disturbance ecology of North American forests has focused on the tree
canopy and woody understory, with little consideration of the herbaceous layer …

Throughfall is a critical component of the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles of wooded
ecosystems with a characteristically large degree of temporal and spatial variability. The …

The biogeochemical behavior of carbon in the forested watersheds of the Hubbard Brook
Experimental Forest (HBEF) was analyzed in long-term studies. The largest pools of C in the …

Watershed budget studies at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), New
Hampshire, USA, have demonstrated high calcium depletion of soil during the 20th century …

Forest decline in the northeastern United States has been linked to the effects of acid
deposition on soil nutrients. To test this link, we added a calcium silicate mineral to a paired …

Quantitative descriptions of natural disturbance regimes are lacking for temperate forest
regions in Europe, primarily because a long history of intensive land-use has been the …
