We investigated the role of increasing forest harvesting on water budgets during wet and dry periods in coast redwood watersheds. We found that climate does interact with harvesting, with differential impacts on watershed water budgets during periods of drought and excess moisture.
Learning Objectives:
Describe harvesting impacts on ecosystem water budgets
Explain climate impacts on streamflow and evapotranspiration
