Proposed Program for Watershed Management Research in the Lower Conifer Zone of

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This detailed book effectively articulates a research program regarding the management of forested watersheds in California. The main focus is on the "Lower Conifer Zone," the area that receives differing amounts of snowpack and is home to 80% of California's timber. The author's proposed study would examine water yield, flood flows, and sedimentation issues in this diverse watershed. Specific study plans include: - evaluating water yield inventory data - assessing forest and land conditions via surveys - soil erodibility and moisture storage/loss inventory - analyzing the existing body of knowledge about forest conditions and their impacts on water, floods, and sediment - establishing pilot watersheds for data collection - conducting studies on heat balance, evapotranspiration, fog drip, wind gradients, interception losses, and more - implementing plot and small-scale tests to examine the effects of brush field conversion, forest fires, slash disposal methods, and micrometeorology on water-related processes - testing water control hypotheses on pilot watersheds The author's research program is significant as it aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Lower Conifer Zone's hydrology and sediment dynamics, enabling better management decisions within this vital watershed.
