Managed forests generally produce high water quality, but degradation is possible via
sedimentation if proper management is not implemented during forest harvesting. To …

The science of forests and floods is embroiled in conflict and is in urgent need of
reevaluation in light of changing climates, insect epidemics, logging, and deforestation …

Predicting groundwater supply for an entire watershed in mountainous terrain required an
approach that considered a wide range in data availability between valley bottom and …

Harvesting timber on steep terrain can be both expensive and have higher safety risks.
Using ground-based machines on steep terrain has the potential to decrease harvest costs …

Water quality in working forested watersheds is generally high, but forestry activities may
cause sedimentation of surface water if best management practices (BMPs) are not …

Interactions between ecological disturbances have the potential to alter other disturbances
and their associated regimes, such as the likelihood, severity, and extent of events. The …

Groundwater in steep watersheds has complicated dynamics because hydrological
processes are strongly affected by topography. To clarify the influence of harvesting on …

Forests are critical water supply regions that are increasingly threatened by natural and
anthropogenic disturbance. Evaluation of runoff-generating processes within harvested and …

Introduction: As challenges to biodiversity mount, land-use policies have been implemented
to balance human needs and the integrity of ecological systems. One such program …
