Abstract:
This publication includes data collected from aquatic ecosystems on National Forest System (NFS) lands sensitive to atmospheric pollutants that contribute to surface water acidification and eutrophication. Data were collected from 1981 to present. Data processed by the Rocky Mountain Research Station Lab from 2016 to present are available at this time, as well as 2023 data from the Coweeta Lab. Data processed by other labs as well as data prior to 2016 will become available as resources allow. The Forest Service regions where the collection occurs include: Eastern (9), Southern (8), Pacific Southwest (5), Intermountain (4), Rocky Mountain (2) and Northern (1). Data were generally collected by Forest Service personnel working on Forest-level projects, with collection years varying by Forest and project. Data include physical and chemical properties of water samples, with measurements and analyses performed both in situ and in analytical labs.
