The Fernow Watershed Acidification Study is a long-term, paired
watershed acidification study, undertaken in the central
Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, USA. The Study, which began
in 1989, includes research on biogeochemical responses of streams,
soils and vegetation to air pollution, and also includes research
on acidification's effects on salamanders. This book describes the
responses to chronic N and S amendments by deciduous hardwood
forests, one of the few studies to focus on these important
hardwood forest ecosystems. Intensive monitoring of soil solution
and stream chemistry, along with measurements of soil chemistry,
and vegetation growth and chemistry, provide insights into the
acidification process in forested watersheds, evaluating these in
the context of nitrogen saturation, soil acidification and base
cation leaching models.
Originally published in 2008, Principles of Snow Hydrology
describes the factors that control the accumulation, melting and
runoff of water from seasonal snowpacks over the surface of the
earth. The book addresses not only the basic principles governing
snow in the hydrologic cycle, but also the latest applications of
remote sensing, and techniques for modeling streamflow from
snowmelt across large mixed land-use river basins. Individual
chapters are devoted to climatology and distribution of snow,
snowpack energy exchange, snow chemistry, ground-based measurements
and remote sensing of snowpack characteristics, snowpack
management, and modeling snowmelt runoff. Many chapters have review
questions and problems with solutions available online. This book
is a reference book for practicing water resources managers and a
text for advanced hydrology and water resources courses which span
fields such as engineering, earth sciences, meteorology,
biogeochemistry, forestry and range management, and water resources
planning.
