Abstract
Watershed (WS) 7 at Coweeta was logged in 1977. The stream draining this watershed, Big Hurricane Branch, was affected in many ways. While the stream has recovered in some characteristics, the continuing press disturbance limits many aspects of recovery. In this chapter, we report the long-term pattern of recovery of the organic matter dynamics of this stream.
