Long-Term Response of a Forest Watershed Ecosystem : Clearcutting in the Southern Appalachians /
Our North American forests are no longer the wild areas of past centuries; they are an economic and ecological resource undergoing changes from both natural and management disturbances. A watershed-scale and long-term perspective of forest ecosystem responses is requisite to understanding and predic...
