Abstract
Litter in the Shale Hills watershed was collected from litter traps, massed, and sorted by species on a weekly basis during the 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons. Litter from the forest floor was collected next to the litter traps, massed, and sorted by species on a biweekly basis during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Tree radial growth was measured by use of dendrobands on 109 trees throughout the watershed on a biweekly basis during 2012 and 2013.

Litter was collected from 35 traps on a weekly basis, massed, and sorted by species during Fall 2011 and Fall 2012. Litter from the forest floor was collected next to the litter traps on a biweekly basis, massed, and sorted by species during Fall 2012. All species were measured in grams of biomass. Tree radial growth was measured on dendrobands from 109 trees on a biweekly basis during 2012.
