<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Grizelle. Thanks. This is very helpful. We are anxious to get in and sample streams as soon as possible, as we are seeing a NO3 decline in Sonadora, with our in situ real-time
sensor. Similar to what we saw after Hugo for about a month in the weekly samples, but did not capture after Georges. It would be very exciting to capture it more widely in the LEF, at all our Tuesday weekly sampling sites. I would then expect the dip to
be followed by months of elevated concentrations (or a decade or so in Icacos). My working hypothesis is that the debris in the stream channel provides the dip in NO3 due to microbial immobilization of N during the first days and weeks of decomposition after
entry of hurricane debris into the stream. The pulse a few months later in stream chemistry is the watershed response to reduced plant uptake of NO3 and longer-term decomposition of the added debris on the forest floor (as we have already seen in the CTE).
The dip in NO3 would not be seen, of course, if another storm comes and washes all the hurricane debris down the mountain and into the sea.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would it be possible for IITF to help us out with getting access to stream sites as soon as possible for stream sampling? CZO staff could tag along for sampling, or whatever you
think might be appropriate. I know you have a lot on your plate right now, and I understand if this is something you can’t deal with! I also might be able to send down some folks from UNH for a week or so to help with cleanup efforts and assessment of litterfall,
tree damage, or whatever else would be helpful. Please just let me know. Thanks. Bill<u></u><u></u></p>
