The goal of this research project conducted from 1997 to 2001 was to quantify and better understand the effects of hydrology on the nitrogen cycling and biogeochemistry of the Noland Divide Watershed.  We conducted detailed field measurements during the summer of 1999 in the Noland Divide Experimental Watershed in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Results are reported in the following papers and presentations:
