This grant from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park aims to study the effects of the Chimney Tops 2 fire on soil and stream chemistry within the park. The research will focus on understanding the changes in soil and stream chemistry in different burn severities. By documenting these changes, the project seeks to fill the knowledge gap regarding the impact of such fires on the ecosystems of the park. Researchers have until August 31, 2018, to submit proposals for this important study.

| Description: | Soil and trees within Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM) play a significant role in the uptake and processing of acidic components deposited upon the landscape. The Chimney Tops 2 (CT2) fire burned 11,000 acres of park property, including many trees and groundcover, which are no longer present in the ecosystem. The effects of such fires on the soils and nearby stream chemistry are relatively unknown within GRSM. The purposes of this effort are to document the changes in soil and stream chemistry observed in various burn severities due to the Chimney Tops 2 fire. |
