  abstract = {{R}esearch activity associated with various observations at the {S}trengbach catchment in the {V}osges {M}assif (880-1150 m) addresses many questions in the domains of hydrology and geochemistry. {T}he catchment is the observation and experimental site of the {O}bservatoire {H}ydro-{G}eochimique de l'{E}nvironnement appointed by the {C}entre {N}ational de la {R}echerche {S}cientifique. {I}t also belongs to the research facilities that form the {F}rench {N}etwork of {C}ritical {Z}one {O}bservatories ({OZCAR}), which supports a network of critical zone observatories. {T}he catchment is small (0.8 km(2)) with steep slopes (20-30%) on granitic bedrock that mainly allow for forestry (spruce and beech stands) as the main land cover. {M}eteorological, hydrological, and geochemical data have been monitored since 1986. {T}he first studies conducted were dedicated to the elucidation of acid rain effects on forest ecosystems and particularly on forest decline. {M}ultidisciplinary research studies conducted on the {S}trengbach catchment enable exploration of the following issues: (i) hydrological functioning at the scale of a small catchment and questions regarding the evolution and preservation of the water resources in mountainous environments (stock, recharge, infiltration, and water pathways), (ii) exchange processes observed at the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and in particular weathering processes and the evolution of soil mineral fertility ({C}a, {M}g, {K}, {P}), (iii) processes responsible for the export of water and for associated fluxes (dissolved chemicals, suspended materials, bed loads) and their dynamic at the outlet, and (iv) responses of the ecosystems to environmental disturbances (acid rain, forest management, and climate change) and their current and future modeling.},
