Characterization of Riparian Wetland Soils and Associated Metal Concentrations at the Headwaters of the Stillwater River, Montana: Author: Cook, Steven Allen; Date: 2007-05-15; Program: Land Resources and Environmental Sciences; Abstract: I investigated the spatial and vertical distribution of metals in an alpine riparian wetland downstream of acid rock drainage in the New World Mining District, Cooke City, Montana.
