Book Synopsis Land Use and Watersheds by : Mark S. Wigmosta
Book excerpt: Presents recent data on how forest management activities and urbanization have influenced the hydrologic and geomorphic responses of watersheds. Focusing on the Pacific Northwest, the 12 contributions discuss wetland processes, channel disturbance, changes in hydrology, and susceptibility to landslides in cities, and consider the effects of timber harvesting and road construction on stream flow, sediment yield, and erosion. Field studies of paired experimental/manipulated watersheds, plot studies, and spatially distributed models are provided. No index. c. Book News Inc.
