Research Highlights

Appalachian Trail Study Fills in the Gaps on Spatial Patterns of Acidic Deposition Effects
Year: 2016
A multiagency and multidisciplinary investigation along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail provided an extensive dataset that filled the gaps in scientists knowledge regarding the spatial patterns of acidic deposition effects on soil, stream water, plant communities, and tree biology.
