Deposition

(under development)

 

While this site is under development, you can visit http://www.umaine.edu/DrSoils/nadp/NADP.HTML to learn more about typical forested terrain precipitation in Maine.  Below is a table of throughfall and stemflow data from BBWM.

 Volume-weighted mean throughfall and stemflow chemistry by for combined treated and reference

by vegetation type for the period 1988 through 1992  (from Fernandez et al. 1999).
