“…Weathering rates were estimated for the first 40 cm of mineral soil. Weathering rates of specific basecations were estimated by partitioning the global weathering rates calculated with PROFILE according to the proportions of K, Ca and Mg weathering rates reported by Likens et al [29].…”

-Rates of base-cation immobilization in the stem of basswood, beech, red oak, red maple, sugar maple and white ash were compared to identify the relative potential for impoverishing soils. Two natural stands in southern Quebec were studied. Allometric equations predicting stem nutrient content from stem diameter were developed. Between 20 and 25 trees per species were sampled for age and stem diameter at breast height, and the area covered by the projection of the tree crown on the ground. Rates of K, Ca and Mg immobilization were assessed by dividing stem nutrient content by age and crown projection. Stem K and Ca content for similar stem diameter classes were highest in white ash and sugar maple, respectively, whereas red oak was lowest in stem Mg content. Overall rates of base-cation immobilization were highest in mid-successional white ash (1.9 g m -2 yr -1 ) and red oak (1.4 g m -2 yr -1 ). cation basique / équation allométrique / feuillu / immobilisation / tige Ann.

“…The Hubbard Brook catchments in the USA, instrumented in 1955, were one of the first interdisciplinary experimental sites, and enabled detailed study of hydrogeochemical balances in the 1960s (Likens et al, 1977). At approximately the same time the UNESCO International Hydrological Decade (1965-1974 was promoting international collaboration in hydrology.…”

“…However, this does not necessarily mean that évapotranspiration increases, because the possibility of groundwater leakage in these basins cannot be dismissed. Fortunately, intensive hydrological and geochemical studies of small basins at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire suggest that negligible groundwater outflow occurs there (Likens et al, 1977). Thus the difference between measured precipitation and streamflow To estimate the elevational trend of mean annual évapotranspira-tion, we can apply the Priestley-Taylor (1972) version of the equilibrium equation:…”

Much of New Hampshire and Vermont (combined area = 50 000 km ) has hilly to mountainous topography. Elevations range from 0 to 1900 m a.s.l. (average = 360 m), and many peaks exceed 1200 m. Mean annual precipitation increases strongly with elevation (adjusted for additional orographic effects and distance from moisture sources), as do mean monthly precipitation, snow depth, and snow water equivalents. Mean monthly temperatures decrease with elevation, largely masking latitudinal effects, and can be used with other information to show how potential évapotranspiration changes with elevation. These effects combine to produce strong elevational increases in mean annual streamflow and, more surprisingly, cause streamflow variability, both short term and annual, to decrease with mean drainage basin elevation. Low flows for a given exceedance probability increase markedly as mean basin elevation increases above 340 m. Flood peaks for a given return period also increase with mean basin elevation. Slope and aspect affect the timing of snowmelt runoff, but otherwise appear to have only second order effects on hydrology. The effect of elevation is so dominant in the region that it can be used as the single independent variable in predicting many streamflow parameters.
