Bear Brook Project Featured in Journal
UMaine researchers Ivan J. Fernandez and Stephen A. Norton served as guest editors for the most recent volume of the journal Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, which featured “The Bear Brook Watershed in Maine — The Second Decade,” a special issue that includes a series of 10 papers about UMaine’s long-term, whole-watershed research project in eastern Maine. Fernandez, Norton and others at UMaine are studying issues of acid deposition, climate change and forest sustainability in one of the longest-running studies of its kind in the world. The special issue follows a book published after the first decade and follows more than 150 scientific papers that have been generated from the Bear Brook project.
