The Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Minnesota serves as a
living laboratory and provides scientists with a fundamental
understanding of peatland hydrology, acid rain impacts, nutrient
and carbon cycling, trace gas emissions, and controls on mercury
transport in boreal watersheds. Its important role in scientific
research continues to grow as the data gathered offers invaluable
insight into environmental changes over the last century and goes
far in answering many of today's pressing questions at landscape
and global scales. Synthesizing five decades of research, Peatland
Biogeochemistry and Watershed Hydrology at the Marcell Experimental
Forest includes hundreds of research publications, dozens of
graduate theses, and even some previously unpublished studies.
Research at the MEF has been at the forefront of many scientific
disciplines and these 15 chapters offer the depth and breadth of
long-term studies on hydrology, biogeochemistry, ecology, and
forest management on peatland watersheds at the MEF. Focusing on
peatlands, lakes, and upland landscapes, the book begins with the
pioneering research on hydrology done during the 1960s. It presents
the innovative 1970's studies of atmospheric deposition; the 1980's
research into nutrient cycles including carbon, nitrogen, and
methane emissions; and the 1990's investigations into mercury
deposition. The book concludes with a look at the latest and
on-going studies such as this century's research into controls on
methylmercury production and landscape-level carbon storage and
cycling. Covering 50 years of research and written by a veritable
who's who in peatland and forestry science, this important
milestone in the collection of ecological data highlights bright
prospects for future research, including the continuation of
existing long-term measurements, the initiation of new monitoring
programs, and plans for unprecedented studies on climate change.
