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...

Sediment production from forest roads in the upper Oak Creek Watershed of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Amann, Joseph R.

Abstract:

Unpaved roads are sources of chronic sediment in forested watersheds. Bare soil on roads is exposed to erosion from rainfall and runoff Published research on sediment production from forest roads focuses primarily on road characteristics. Since water drives the mechanics of sediment transport, hydrologic variables should correlate with sediment production....
