Assignment 2: effects of deforestation on biogeochemistry: at what times of the year is most of the ca2+ and no3- exported from the undisturbed. W3 and cut-over w2 catchments and why? (5 lines) Year 2 (1977) a h g k f f o n. Year 3 (1987) a h g k f f o n u. 0. 0 a h g k f f o n u. The highest export from both catchments occur in the 4th month of 1967, and in the 3rd month of. W3 is a tight" non-disturbed system and the export pattern is relatively the same throughout the 3 years. The large export in w2 is due to low interception of precipitation (there is no vegetation) which leads to a greater volume of water runoff (during heavy rainfall). This water infiltrates though the soil (podzols), thus exports soluble ca2+ and no3- to the environment.
