Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the classic ecosystem studies at Hubbard Brook in New Hampshire, this text presents an in-depth analysis of the biogeochemistry of a terrestrial ecosystem. It synthesizes long-term data on precipitation and streamwater chemistry, hydrology and weathering, and also considers the dynamics of atmospheric gases and water as they flow through the system.;This edition brings the 1977 edition up to date and presents the on-going Hubbard Brook study to a new generation of ecologists. Both authors won the Tyler Prize in Environmental Science in 1993 and Likens also won the Australia Prize in 1994.
