Book Synopsis Effects of Overstory Mortality on Snow Accumulation and Ablation by : Patrick Anthony Teti
Download or read book Effects of Overstory Mortality on Snow Accumulation and Ablation written by Patrick Anthony Teti and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resource managers and forest hydrologists face serious questions about the effects of widespread canopy mortality and accelerated salvage logging on streamflow from mountain pine beetle (MPB)-affected watersheds. This project has documented physical stand characteristics, snow accumulation, and snow ablation rates of growing managed stands and deteriorating natural stands in six groups of plots in British Columbia. One of the main objectives of this project is to provide modelling partners with data on the snow hydrology and physical characteristics of many stands at different stages of growth and deterioration. This will improve their ability to calibrate models to new watersheds and will improve the accuracy of the results.--Includes text from document.
Book Synopsis A Synthesis of the Hydrological Consequences of Large-scale Mountain Pine Beetle Disturbance by : Markus Schnorbus
Download or read book A Synthesis of the Hydrological Consequences of Large-scale Mountain Pine Beetle Disturbance written by Markus Schnorbus and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current synthesis is a review of research examining the effects of large-scale mountain pine beetle (MPB)-related disturbance conducted predominantly over the past five years. The emphasis is on research that explicitly examines the impact of beetle kill (or biotic disturbance in general) and the cumulative effects of large scale salvage harvesting operations in response to beetle kill. In general, forest disturbance has been found to increase snow accumulation and melt, reduce interception loss and evaporation, and increase runoff and stream flow.--Document.
Book Synopsis Microclimate Studies in Uniform Shelterwood Systems in the Sub-Boreal Spruce Zone of Central British Columbia by : Robert Matthew Sagar
Download or read book Microclimate Studies in Uniform Shelterwood Systems in the Sub-Boreal Spruce Zone of Central British Columbia written by Robert Matthew Sagar and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was initiated in 2001 as part of a uniform shelterwood trial located in the dry, warm Sub-Boreal Spruce subzone (sbsdw) near Williams Lake, B.C., after a second harvesting entry was completed. The focus of the main trial was to test various levels of residual basal retention and harvesting methods on the establishment, survival, and productivity of Douglas-fir regeneration. The microclimate component was set up to help interpret tree performance by comparing the climate conditions among three of the residual basal area treatments (0, 15, and 20 m2/ha). The objectives for the microclimate portion of the shelterwood project were to compare soil temperatures and snow-free periods among the three residual basal area treatments (0, 15, and 20 m2/ha); to compare the incidence, duration, and severity of growing season frosts among the three residual basal area treatments (0, 15, and 20 m2/ha); and to investigate the effects of local canopy density on minimum near-ground air temperatures and duration of frost events during the growing season.--Document.

Book Synopsis Quantifying the Water Resource Impacts of Mountain Pine Beetle and Associated Salvage Harvest Operations Across a Range of Watershed Scales by : Markus Schnorbus
Download or read book Quantifying the Water Resource Impacts of Mountain Pine Beetle and Associated Salvage Harvest Operations Across a Range of Watershed Scales written by Markus Schnorbus and published by Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations. This book was released on 2010 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the results of a project done to assess the potential for impacts and changes to the peak-flow regime throughout various sub-basins of the Fraser River Watershed. The vast size and the physical complexity of the Fraser River Basin make it extremely difficult to directly measure the hydrologic effects of beetle kill and salvage harvesting. As a result, a hydrology model has been used to assess the hydrologic consequences of the current outbreak. The project is part of a larger effort in quantifying the water resource impacts of the pine beetle and salvage harvesting across a range of watershed scales.--Includes text from document.

Book Synopsis Effects of Overstorey Mortality on Snow Accumulation and Ablation by : Patrick Anthony Teti
Download or read book Effects of Overstorey Mortality on Snow Accumulation and Ablation written by Patrick Anthony Teti and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project documents stand structure and snow hydrology in both healthy and beetle-attacked pine stands of different ages over a large geographic area. Hydrologic changes are therefore expected in watersheds dominated by lodgepole pine due to the current mountain pine beetle epidemic and to salvage harvesting operations. The project assists in the development of process-based hydrologic models by providing stand-level data on the structure and snow hydrology of growing and deteriorating pine stands at different post-disturbance ages. This will help watershed modellers improve the accuracy of hydrologic predictions under different forest disturbance scenarios.--Includes text from document.

Download or read book Thriving on Our Changing Planet written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-01-20 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live on a dynamic Earth shaped by both natural processes and the impacts of humans on their environment. It is in our collective interest to observe and understand our planet, and to predict future behavior to the extent possible, in order to effectively manage resources, successfully respond to threats from natural and human-induced environmental change, and capitalize on the opportunities â€" social, economic, security, and more â€" that such knowledge can bring. By continuously monitoring and exploring Earth, developing a deep understanding of its evolving behavior, and characterizing the processes that shape and reshape the environment in which we live, we not only advance knowledge and basic discovery about our planet, but we further develop the foundation upon which benefits to society are built. Thriving on Our Changing Planet presents prioritized science, applications, and observations, along with related strategic and programmatic guidance, to support the U.S. civil space Earth observation program over the coming decade.
Book Synopsis Forest-Water Interactions by : Delphis F. Levia
Download or read book Forest-Water Interactions written by Delphis F. Levia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations has declared 2018-2028 as the International Decade for Action on Water for Sustainable Development. This is a timely designation. In an increasingly thirsty world, the subject of forest-water interactions is of critical importance to the achievement of sustainability goals. The central underlying tenet of this book is that the hydrologic community can conduct better science and make a more meaningful impact to the world’s water crisis if scientists are: (1) better equipped to utilize new methods and harness big data from either or both high-frequency sensors and long-term research watersheds; and (2) aware of new developments in our process-based understanding of the hydrological cycle in both natural and urban settings. Accordingly, this forward-looking book delves into forest-water interactions from multiple methodological, statistical, and process-based perspectives (with some chapters featuring data sets and open-source R code), concluding with a chapter on future forest hydrology under global change. Thus, this book describes the opportunities of convergence in high-frequency sensing, big data, and open source software to catalyze more comprehensive understanding of forest-water interactions. The book will be of interest to researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in an array of disciplines, including hydrology, forestry, ecology, botany, and environmental engineering.
