Integrated monitoring in mixed forest biosphere reserves

Sampling took place at Glacier National Park at two sites, an exposed and a remote site, in 1981 and 1982. Samples were analyzed for trace elemtns, sulfates, and nitrates. Media sampled incouded air, water, soil, vegetation, and forest litter. In general, atmospheric values measured reflect current literature estimates of background levels for these compounds. Moss samples and forest litter appeared to be enriched relative to crustal sources for such elements as lead, copper, and zinc. Two sites were instrumented for surface hydrology measurements. These efforts proved to monitoring hydrologic limitations on very remote sites.
