This book highlights many of the important ecological findings amassed during the long-term research conducted there, and considers their regional, national, and global implications. Richard T. Holmes and Gene E. Likens, active members of the research team at Hubbard Brook since its beginnings, explain the scientific processes employed in the forest-turned-laboratory. They describe such important findings as the discovery of acid rain, ecological effects of forest management practices, and the causes of population change in forest birds, as well as how disturbance events, pests and pathogens, and a changing climate affect forest and associated aquatic ecosystems. The authors show how such long-term, place-based ecological studies are relevant for informing many national, regional, and local environmental issues, such as air pollution, water quality, ecosystem management, and conservation. 606 $aWater chemistry$zNew Hampshire$zHubbard Brook Experimental Forest 606 $aWater$zNew Hampshire$zHubbard Brook Experimental Forest 606 $aAquatic ecology$zNew Hampshire$zHubbard Brook Experimental Forest 607 $aHubbard Brook Experimental Forest (N.H.) 607 $aNew Hampshire$zHubbard Brook Experimental Forest$2fast 607 $aHubbard Brook Valley$2gnd 615 0$aWater chemistry 615 0$aWater 615 0$aAquatic ecology 676 $a577.3097422 700 $aHolmes$b Richard T.$013750 702 $aLikens$b Gene E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137077903321 996 $aHubbard Brook$92811083 997 $aUNINA
