Abstract In coniferous western forests, recent widespread tree mortality provided
opportunities to test the long-held theory that forest cover loss increases water yield. We …

The past century has seen significant research comparing snow accumulation and ablation
in forested and open sites. In this review we compile and standardize the results of previous …

Many regions of the world are dependent on snow cover for frost protection and summer
water supplies. These same regions are predominantly forested, with forests highly …

Attributes that describe forest structure, such as height, canopy cover, volume, and biomass,
are required to inform forest inventories and monitoring programs. Light Detection and …

The cryosphere consists of frozen water and includes lakes/rivers/sea ice, glaciers, ice
caps/sheets, snow cover, and permafrost. Because highly reflective snow and ice are the …

A North American epidemic of mountain pine beetle (MPB) has disturbed over 5 million ha of
forest containing headwater catchments crucial to water resources. However, there are …

Abstract Airborne‐based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) offers the potential to
measure snow depth and vegetation structure at high spatial resolution over large extents …

Seasonal snowpack in forested lands is the primary source of fresh water in western North
America, where mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestation has resulted in rapid and extensive …

Modeling forest change effects on snow is critical to resource management. However, many
models either do not appropriately model canopy structure or cannot represent fine‐scale …

We investigated the effects of forest clear-cutting on snow accumulation, melt dynamics and
associated stream responses in a paired catchment experiment in northern Sweden. Two …
