Uncertainty in forest road hydrologic modeling and catchment scale assessment offorest road sediment yield

Creator:

Surfleet, Christopher G.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to advance methods for assessment of forest road hydrologic response and sediment yield at a catchment scale. This research looked at the effect of soil depth estimation on the Distributive Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM), assessed the uncertainty and accuracy of hydrologic modeling of...

Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

Creator:

Toman, Elizabeth Myers

Abstract:

Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

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...
