Long‐term experimental watershed studies have significantly influenced our global understanding of hydrological processes. The discovery and characterization of how stream water quantity and quality respond to a changing environment (e.g. land‐use change, acidic deposition) has only been possible due to the establishment of catchments devoted to long‐term study. One such catchment is the Fernow Experimental Forest (FEF) located in the headwaters of the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia, a region that provides essential freshwater ecosystem services to eastern and mid‐western United States communities. Established in 1934, the FEF is among the earliest experimental watershed studies in the Eastern United States that continues to address emergent challenges to forest ecosystems, including climate change and other threats to forest health. This data note describes available data and presents some findings from more than 50 years of hydrologic research at the FEF. During the first few decades, research at the FEF focused on the relationship between forest management and hydrological processes—especially those related to the overall water balance. Later, research included the examination of interactions between hydrology and soil erosion, biogeochemistry, N‐saturation, and acid deposition. Hydro‐climatologic and water quality datasets from long‐term measurements and data from short‐duration studies are publicly available to provide new insights and foster collaborations that will continue to advance our understanding of hydrology in forested headwater catchments. As a result of its rich history of research and abundance of long‐term data, the FEF is positioned to continue to advance understanding of forest ecosystems in a time of unprecedented change.

美国西弗吉尼亚州的费尔诺实验森林:见解,数据集和机遇

长期的实验性分水岭研究极大地影响了我们对水文过程的全球理解。由于建立了专门用于长期研究的集水区,才可能发现和表征溪流水的水量和水质如何响应不断变化的环境(例如,土地利用变化,酸性沉积)。一个这样的集水区是位于西弗吉尼亚州阿巴拉契亚山脉源头的费诺实验森林(FEF),该地区为美国东部和中西部社区提供必要的淡水生态系统服务。FEF成立于1934年,是美国东部地区最早的实验性分水岭研究之一,继续致力于应对森林生态系统的新挑战,包括气候变化和其他对森林健康的威胁。本数据说明描述了可用数据,并介绍了FEF在50多年的水文研究中得出的一些发现。在最初的几十年中,FEF的研究重点是森林管理与水文过程之间的关系,尤其是那些与总体水平衡有关的过程。后来,研究包括水文与土壤侵蚀,生物地球化学,氮饱和度和酸沉降之间相互作用的检验。长期测量的水文气候和水质数据集以及短期研究的数据可公开获得,以提供新的见识并促进合作,这将继续加深我们对森林源头流域水文学的认识。由于其悠久的研究历史和丰富的长期数据,
