Popis:	Influences of limestone on physical and chemical characteristics of Abrams Creek in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, were investigated from February to July 1977. Infiltration of stream water into subsurface permeable limestone conduits caused reduced and intermittent surface flow within the middle reach of the Cove. At the downstream (west) edge of the Cove, inflowing waters characteristically warmed the stream in winter and cooled it in summer and increased stream conductivity, total hardness, and pH. Management activities in the Cove did not appear to appreciably affect the chemistry of the aquatic system downstream relative to the large effects of limestone substrate.
