Resource Management Plan for the US Department of Energy Oak Ridge Reservation. Volume 13, Appendix M: Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park

摘要

The Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park (NERP) is one of five NERPs established to date under the policy of the Department of Energy (DOE) for the purpose of providing protected land areas for research and education in the environmental sciences and demonstration of the environmental compatibility of energy technology developments. The Oak Ridge NERP consists of 5,5000 ha of the Department of Energy Oak Ridge Reservation, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The NERP lies in the heart of an eastern deciduous forest area of streams and reservoirs, mesic hardwood forests, and extensive upland mixed forests. Continuing characterization of the Oak Ridge NERP lands, which is supported by DOE funds, includes the collection of meteorological, geological, and hydrological data and a cataloging of terrestrial and aquatic fauna and flora. 11 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
