- Abstract
The article presents a study on the examination of effects of catastrophic flooding on stream biogeochemistry changes in Staunton River in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. It relates that the flood caused large-scale debris flows and complete scouring of riparian soils down to bedrock in the lower 2 kilometer of the stream. It also discusses that the response was elevations in the stream concentration of Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium by 59 per cent, 87 per cent, and 49 per cent, respectively, for 6 months immediately following the flood.
