Masters Thesis
Simulation of vegetation and hydrology for climate change analysis of a mountain watershed

Creator:

Waichler, Scott R.

Abstract:

Climate change is expected to have both direct and indirect effects on water resources. Hydrologic impacts of two indirect effects, vegetation density and stomata! conductance, are evaluated for the American River, a 200 km² watershed in the Cascade Range of Washington state. First, a set of distributed hydrology-biogeochemistry model structures...
