The results of an international workshop which investigated the biogeochemical cycle of small catchments. The contributors provide a summary of current research in such areas as hydrology, weathering and erosion aspects, soil chemistry, hydrochemistry, nitrogen cycling and more.

Small catchment research; hydrology; atmospheric chemical input to small catchments; weathering and soil erosion aspects of small catchment research; soil and soil solution chemistry; biological processes and catchment studies; hydrochemical methods and relationships for study of stream output from small catchments; element budgets; hydrologic studies; sulphur; nitrogen cycling; hydrochemical studies; trace metals speciation and cycling; chemical weathering in small catchments - climatic and anthropologenic influences; small catchment studies in the tropical zone; agricultural impacts in the northern temperate zone; small catchment research in the evaluation and development of forest management practices.
