Creator:: Jarecke, Karla M.
Abstract:: The rapid pace of climate change is increasing tree mortality and highlighting the need to improve the mechanistic understanding of plant function under increased water stress. However, the processes that control soil moisture availability in steep mountainous terrain are poorly understood, as are the relative effects of atmospheric and soil...

Creator:: Wissler, Austin D.
Abstract:: Mountainous headwater streams make up ~80 % of stream length globally and are strongly connected with catchment hillslopes and riparian areas, which can influence water quantity, quality, and availability for downstream uses. Accordingly, effective management of headwater streams and riparian zones to maintain desired ecosystem services downstream is critical, particularly...

Creator:: Rachels, Aaron A.
Abstract:: Timber harvesting practices can increase fine sediment inputs to streams due to increased hillslope soil erosion and mass wasting of roads, hillslopes, and stream channels. Excessive fine sediment depositions have been shown to impact aquatic ecosystems, fish habitat, and downstream community water supply. Despite these deleterious impacts, the influence of...
