About: Marcell Experimental Forest

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) is a 1,140 ha long-term ecosystem research site operated by the Northern Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service. It is located 40 km north of Grand Rapids, Minnesota within the Chippewa National Forest and was formally established in 1962 to study the ecology and hydrology of peatland watersheds. There are six experimental watersheds each of which consist of an upland portion, a peatland, and an outlet stream. The range of these six watersheds provide a variety of hydrological environments to study. Climatic and hydrologic data have been continuously monitored since 1961. Some notable research areas have been hydrology, nutrient and mercury cycling and behavior, and release of organic carbon and acidity.
