Question

Herb Bormann initiated much research on the Hubbard Brook watershed . One of his specific a priori hypotheses was that cutting down trees would lead to increased streamflow ar corresponding increases in downstream reservoirs. An entire watershed was deforested and two reference" watersheds were left uncut. This research led to numerous findings on the influences of deforestation on water yield, water quality, and flood flow in the Hubbard Brook Watershed. 2. Critique the experimental design of the Hubbard Brook research in 40 words or less. Did the experimental design make these finding worthless? (Yes or No). One of the most famous findings of the research was the unexpected and somewhat accidental 3. 4. surprise" finding that acid rain was falling across the watersheds. Critique the experimental design for this finding in 40 words or less. 5. Did the experimental design make this acid rain rescarch worthlcss?

Answer 1

2) Hubbard Brook research is based on Hubbard brook watershed.Three watersheds were used.An entire watershed was

deforested and two reference watersheds were left uncut.

3)The research made worth and numerous findings were influenced on water yield,water quality,and flood flow.

4) As hubbard brook research consists of watershed.Two reference watersheds were used in the experiment which helped to

detect the fall of acid rain.

5)No,the experimental design influenced on the further findings of acid rain.
