The March 2003 issue of Ecosystems featured a cover photo from the Coweeta LTER program, based on the article in that issue entitled “Hillslope Nutrient Dynamics Following Upland Riparian Vegetation Disturbance” by J. Alan Yeakley, David C. Coleman, Bruce L. Haines, Brian D. Kloeppel, Judy L. Meyer, Wayne T. Swank, Barry W. Argo, James M. Deal, and Sharon F. Taylor.
The article reported on a 9-year study of the effects both of riparian Rhododendron harvest and of hurricane canopy tree wind throw on nutrient and carbon dynamics in an upland watershed at Coweeta.
