- Title
The watershed‐ecosystem approach.

Likens, Gene E.
- Abstract
We initiated the WEC in 1963 (Bormann & Likens, 1967) using paired watershed-ecosystems at the HBEF (43°56'N, 71°45'W). A paired watershed approach does not provide a strict "control" needed in experimental studies (Likens, 1985), but does give critical reference information during whole watershed, experimental manipulations. Because these HBEF watersheds were relatively watertight regarding deep seepage (Bormann & Likens, 1967; Juang, 1966; Likens, 2013; Likens et al., 1967), mass balances could be done quantitatively. The strong effect of hydrology on NHF was demonstrated frequently in analyses of biogeochemical mass balances in these watershed-ecosystem studies (e.g., Likens et al., 1967; Likens et al., 2021).
