Report of the aquatic modeling group--round one

The aquatic modeling group, consisting of Davis, Donaldson, Hall,Higley, Lyford, McIntire, Mullooly, Overton, Strand, Waring, and Warren,met in four 2-hour sessions from July 7 to July 26. The charge tothe group was: 1. Define an appropriate internal structure for theaquatic subsystem; 2. Define significant couplings between the aquaticand terrestrial systems; and 3. Begin to evaluate the present programwith the above as background.
In general, the discussion centered around stream systems, andspecifically around the Lookout Creek drainage on the H. J. AndrewsForest, site of most of the Oregon field research. Much considerationwas given to the best means of incorporating data from earlier studieson Berry Creek, the Drift Creek streams (Alsea Watershed Study), and
the Oak Creek Experimental Streams into present modeling efforts. Higleyis charged with the responsibility of bringing together a listing ofthe pertinent publications and theses that might be most applicableto this effort. A tentative listing is included with this report.
