Dorset Calibrated Watershed Research


Elemental cycling within Ontario Precambrian Shield watersheds


We have a long history of working at the Dorset Environmental Science Centre calibrated watersheds.  This research has examined the long-term impacts of acid deposition and climate change on elemental cycling within forested and wetland-dominated catchments.  Selected publications from this work are profiled below.
