Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The hydrological effects of MPB and salvage harvest forest cover disturbance were analysed using recent research findings on snow accumulation and melt effects under different forest canopy conditions, including the effects of the dead pine trees, non-pine overstory, and understory seedlings, saplings and poles in MPB-attacked stands (Huggard and Lewis, 2008). Canopy change effects are expressed as equivalent clearcut area (ECA). fisheries, aquatic habitat, peak flow, cumulative effects, watershed assessment, watershed management |
