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 …
