BBWM was established to identify atmospheric deposition impacts on surface waters and to quantify the major processes controlling surface water acidification under increased sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) atmospheric deposition.Baseline Data for Long-term Forest Vegetation Monitoring at Bear Brook Watershed in MaineFernandezDr. IvanEckhoffJ.D.WiersmaG.B.regenerationacid rainnitrogenwatershedsvegetationforest inventoryAverage Number of Tree Seeds 1997–991997-07-011999-08-31Tree seed production indicator: average number of tree seeds collected, by species, for two years (1997–99) and normalized tree seed data from the plots at Bear Brook Watershed in Maine.Z1352_2766_RXGQGDVMC.1352.2766mySQLEckhoff and Wiersma (2002) Average Number of Tree Seeds 1997–99.
