4 Gaps in the Streamflow Record Hubbard Brook Coweeta

5 Gaps in the Streamflow Record (days) Hubbard Brook Coweeta

6 Uncertainty in change over time in sulfate in atmospheric deposition in NY as a function of sampling intensity (21 stations = 100%)

7 Uncertainty in change over time in Adirondack lake nitrate as a function of sampling intensity (50 lakes monthly = 100%)

8 Uncertainty in Forest Biomass in W6 as a function of the number of plots sampled

9 Uncertainty in Change over Time in Forest Biomass in W6

10 Variation over space and time in stream loads at Hubbard Brook, Coweeta, and Wakayama (Japan)
