Since 1934, the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory has served as a primary site for forest hydrological research in the USA. This paper describes the early and current research programs and discusses future research. Water quality and forest productivity are two areas of future concern because of increasing intensity of management and because of shorter rotations and greater utilization of biomass. The growing trend toward short-term studies relating alternative management practices to water quality will continue. Process-level ecosystem research will use the long-term data base of the Coweeta basin to study mineral cycling and evaluate the effects of alternative levels of biomass utilization on forest productivity.
