Located in the Tabonuco type forest of the Luquillo Experimental Forest, the Bisley experimental watersheds are three drainages dedicated to the study of watershed processes in steepland forests of the humid tropics. The research area consists of two canopy towers with climate stations, three gauged watersheds that are nested within the gauged Rio Mameyes watershed; detailed 1-500 scale topographic maps; a network of permanent vegetation and soil plots; and areas dedicated to the study of biomass removal, coarse woody debris, aquatic and riparian ecology. Long-term environmental records include of climate, throughfall, litterfall, and plant succession and nearly 200 publications have been written on the area.
