Hubbard Brook

The Story of a Forest Ecosystem

For more than 50 years, the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire has been one of the most intensely studied landscapes on earth. It is the longest, most comprehensive forest and associated ecosystem studies. The small watershed ecosystem approach developed from Hubbard Brook is now used widely around the world. This book highlights many of the important ecological findings amassed during the long-term research conducted there, such as the discovery and effects of acid rain, and considers their regional, national, and global implications.
