Scaling hydrologic impacts from road segments to a small watershed

Creator:: Royer, Timothy Adam
Abstract:: The impact of forest roads on the hydrology of forested watersheds has long been studied. While forest roads have been reported to alter storm runoff at the road segment scale, the potential for changes to be detectable at the small watershed scale has been debated. The purpose of this study...

The effects of land use on stream nitrate concentrations : from the catchment scale to the regional scale

Creator:: Poor, Cara J.
Abstract:: This work furthers the understanding of processes occurring in catchments that affect stream nitrate concentrations using two different approaches: a temporally intensive case study of three headwater catchments with varying land use (through storm event monitoring) and a spatially intensive study on the regional scale (through statistical modeling) of 1st-4th...

Forest road hydrology : the influence of forest roads on stream flow at stream crossings

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: The management of existing forest road systems is an issue of growing importance and public debate. Roads can alter the hydrologic processes in a watershed especially at stream crossing culverts where road ditches channel runoff directly into the stream. The objective of this study was to determine how surface runoff...
