Subject:
Effects of ash loss on hydrology of forested streams
Needs:
Data on ash forest cover, canopy coverage of ash trees
Research questions to address:
What are the hydrological implications of ash tree death, and can we predict watersheds with greatest impact?
Actions:
evaluate ash canopy cover by watershed; hydrologic model used to evaluate effects on canopy interception, evapotranspiration, and runoff peak flows and base flows. Could also look at regeneration rates of other spp to calculate duration of altered hydrology
Evaluation:
Success will be
Determination of effects of EAB on stream hydrology
identified priority watersheds where greatest impact expected
