This book synthesizes interdisciplinary studies conducted over thirty years, to evaluate responses of a clear-cut, cable-logged watershed at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in the Nantahala Mountain Range of western North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis research was the result of collaboration among Forest Service and university researchers on the most studied watershed in the Lab's 78-year history. During the experiment, a variety of natural disturbances occurred: two record floods, two record droughts, a major hurricane, a blizzard of the century, major forest diseases, and insect infestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese disturbances provided a unique opportunity to study how they altered the recovery of the forest ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book also shows that some long-term forest trends cannot be forecast from short-term findings, which could lead to incorrect conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships and natural resource management decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne T.
