Weather and climate are widely recognized as key drivers of
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems affecting biotic as well as
abiotic ecosystem characteristics and processes. Global and
regional scale climatic patterns, trends, and variations are
critical to the cycling of elements, nutrients, and minerals
through the ecosystems and can deliver pollutants from regional and
even global sources (National Assessment Synthesis Team 2001).
These variations and trends influence the fundamental properties of
ecologic systems such as soil-water relationships and plant-soil
processes and their disturbance rates and intensity. Information
obtained from meteorological monitoring will be useful to
interpreting and understanding changes in species composition,
community structure, water and soil chemistry, and related
landscape processes (Marshall and Piekielek 2007).
