Forests and water yield: A synthesis of disturbance effects on streamflow and snowpack in western coniferous forests
SA Goeking, DG Tarboton - Journal of Forestry, 2020 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Large‐scale forest restoration stabilizes carbon under climate change in Southwest United States
Higher tree density, more fuels, and a warmer, drier climate have caused an increase in the
frequency, size, and severity of wildfires in western US forests. There is an urgent need to …
