Hydrochemical Budgets, Nutrient Cycles and Hydrological Responses in the Quercus ILEX Forest of Prades Catchments

  • Chapter
Responses of Forest Ecosystems to Environmental Changes

Abstract

In this paper we present a perspective of the objetives in the Prades project, as well as some results of 7 years of study on Hydrochemical budgets, and water and nutrient fluxes in the holm-oak forest (bulk deposition, throughfall, stemflow, primary production, litterfall, runoff, etc).
