Synopsis

Excerpt from Long-Term Ecosystem Studies in Isle Royale, Olympic and Rocky Mountain National Parks: Noatak National Preserve, and Fraser Experimental Forest

At the Fraser Experimental Forest, Colorado, nine alpine and subalpine watersheds are routinely monitored along with six meteorological stations. The research emphasis in recent years has been on summarizing long-term studies on the effect of canopy removal on snowpack chemistry and subsurface flow and nutrient export. Such data are in demand by the Forest Service to address questions associated with development such as ski areas.

Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, receives the highest atmospheric loadings in this network of sites. It is one of three long-term study sites located near the southern extent of the boreal biome in North America. Because of its geographical location, most of the current research emphasizes the effects of warming temperatures and change in moisture and nutrient availability on soil production and export of organic C and N to the aquatic ecosystem, and the subsequent effects on the physical and chemical properties and biological diversity of the aquatic ecosystem.
