Effects of chronic nitrogen (N) additions on foliar chemistry, gas exchange and forest growth of tree species were investigated at the Bear Brook 'Watershed in Maine (BBWM). The BBWM is a paired-watershed forest ecosystem study with one watershed, 'West Bear, treated since 1989 with 26.6 kg N ha-1 yr-1 applied bimonthly as ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SOa), while the other watershed, East Bear, serves as a reference. Tree species richness, forest structure, basal area, aboveground biomass and leaf area index were similar between watersheds.
