The Kejimkujik Watershed Study (KWS) was initiated in 1978 in response to growing concerns about the possible harmful effects on the environment of long range transport of air pollutants, particularly acid rain. It is one of five calibrated watershed studies in Canada that represent a range of climatic conditions, terrain sensitivities, and rates of atmospheric acidic deposition. This report presents the proceedings of a workshop on the study, covering programs and concepts in integrated monitoring and research; monitoring global change; research and monitoring in and around Kejimkujik National Park; monitoring and research of surface waters, lakes and streams, and forests and watersheds; and the organization and interpretation of Kejimkujik research station establishment. Summary reports are given on watershed studies in the Experimental Ponds Area of Newfoundland, the Integrated Forest Studies Cooperative in Vermont, and the Humic Lake acidification experiment in Norway. Highlights of an open discussion on future activities are also included.
A national network for ecosystem monitoring and assessment has been proposed to provide integrated ecological information for use in determining ecological consequences of various environmental stresses. In the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone, Kejimkujik National Park has been proposed as a candidate site for this network, since it is protected from development which may endanger long-term monitoring and assessment, is generally representative of the Ecozone, and has a key role in the acid precipitation monitoring network. This report discusses past, current, and future monitoring activity at the Park. The park site is described in terms of its spatial representativeness, science partnerships, and other aspects which suit its inclusion as part of a national ecosystem monitoring network. The appendix includes: a list of current research projects in the Park area; a brief chronology of Park events; and an extensive bibliography on the aquatic and terrestrial effects of acid precipitation.
This set of papers presents a description of the synthesis of hydrological problems and various environmental implications and management strategies for different highland and headwater regions of the world. Regions covered include the Himalayas, Russian mountains, Amazonia, and upland Wales.
A workshop was held to explore the need for an ecological research and monitoring site in the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone, with particular reference to the land/sea/atmospheric interface (coastal zone), and to explore the suitability of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, in conjunction with the Fisheries and Oceans Canada Biological Station, as the administrative center of such a site. This publication presents summaries of the working group discussions on estuarine and marine ecosystems, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and ecosystems data management, and includes papers presented at the workshop. The topics of the papers include ecosystem and wildlife monitoring, atmospheric variables and trees, research and monitoring programs, sulfur dioxide deposition, lakewater chemistry, benthic monitoring, and nutrient cycling patterns.
