PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Soil organic matter content (SOM) and C:N ratios of the litter (Weaver et al. 1973, Zou et al. 1995) and SOM (Silver et al. 1999) increase with elevation and are expected to influence stream chemistry (Aitkenhead & McDowell 2000). Linking stream chemistry to characteristics of watershed soils and vegetation (litter quality, soil C:N, soil C and N standing stocks) can be done within the timeframe of the current funding request.
Rain, throughfall, and stream water are collected weekly at 18 LEF sites. These data cover the period from 1988 onwards. Earlier rain and stream water chemistry data are in the files from William McDowell.
