The Bowron River Watershed by Anonim Pdf

"The purpose of this study is to evaluate the condition of streams and riparian zones in a watershed after a substantial amount of time has passed since logging. The Bowron River watershed was chosen based on past harvesting challenges similar to those associated with the mountain pine beetle outbreak and a post-logging recovery time of 20-30 years. By evaluating a watershed in an advanced stage of recovery, it is possible to identify impacts to the riparian system and use the information to consider whether adverse effects will be manifested as a result of compounding forest activities and hydrological response under present forest management practices. The evaluation also provides insight into which components recover first."--Document.

Forest Hydrology by Devendra Amatya,Thomas Williams,Leon Bren,Carmen de Jong Pdf

Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes.

Watershed Assessment in the Southern Interior of British Columbia by Stephen C. Chatwin,David Andrew Alan Toews,British Columbia. Ministry of Forests. Research Branch Pdf

The British Columbia Forest Practices Code made watershed assessment mandatory in community watersheds and on selected high-value fish streams. A research program was established to verify various concepts incorporated into the guidebook that was written to prescribe the method by which watershed assessment was to take place. Other research programs were put in place to better understand hydrologic processes that are occurring in watersheds. This report presents proceedings of a workshop organized to update those who perform & who use the watershed assessments with regard to the most recent research findings. Topics of presentations include watershed processes in interior British Columbia, assessing hydrologic risk, effects of forest cover changes on stream flow, forest influences on snow, effects of harvesting on peak flow, flow modelling, stream channel assessment, sediment budgets, assessing natural sedimentation patterns, and stream- side logging & riparian hazard assessment.

British Columbia's Inland Rainforest by Susan Stevenson Pdf

The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. In British Columbia's Inland Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and present strategies for its management and conservation.

Boreal Forests and Global Change by Michael J. Apps,David T. Price,Joe Wisniewski Pdf

Boreal forests form Earth's largest terrestrial biome. They are rich in ecosystem and landscape diversity, though characterized by relatively few plant species, as compared to other forested regions. The long term viability and sustainability of boreal forests is influenced by many factors. They are subject to interruptions at intervals by large-scale natural disturbances, and increasingly by human activities. Boreal ecosystem development is typically a slow process; hence rapid changes in the global environment may invoke complex responses. Many industrial nations border, or lie within, boreal regions, deriving much of their economic wealth and culture from the forests. The response of boreal forests to changes in the global environment - whether caused by direct human activity or by indirect changes such as the anticipated changes in climate - are therefore of considerable international interest, both for their policy implications and their scientific challenges. This book which contains almost 50 peer-reviewed papers from a world-wide group of experts assembled under the auspices of IBFRA, the International Boreal Forest Research Association, covers topics which will stimulate further research and the development of constructive policies for improved management and conservation of global boreal forest resources.

Great Lakes--St. Lawrence Seaway Transportation by United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Commerce. Special Subcommittee to Study Transportation on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Pdf

"An intimate look at the founding father of the modern leadership movement Warren Bennis is an acclaimed American scholar, successful organizational consultant and author, and an expert in the field of leadership. His much awaited memoir is filled with insights about the successes and failures from his long and storied life and career. Bennis' life and career have traversed eight decades of first-hand experience with tumultuous episodes of recent history-from Jewish child in a gentile town in the 30's, a young army recruit in the Battle of the Bulge to a college student in the one of the first progressive precursors to the civil rights movement to a patient undergoing daily psychoanalysis for five years, and later a university provost during the Vietnam protests. Reveals the triumphs and struggles of the man who is considered the pioneer in the contemporary field of leadership studies Bennis is the author of 27 books including the bestseller On Becoming a Leader. This is first book to examine the extraordinary life of Warren Bennis by the man himself."--Provided by publisher.

Forest Hydrology and Watershed by Fan-Rui Meng,Altaf Arain,Qiang Li,Michael Pisaric Pdf

Hydrological processes in forested watersheds are influenced by environmental, physiological, and biometric factors such as precipitation, radiation, temperature, species type, leaf area, and extent and structure of forest ecosystems. Over the past two centuries, forest coverage and forest structures have been impacted globally by anthropogenic activities, for example, forest harvesting, and conversion of forested landscapes for plantations and urbanization. In addition, since the industrial revolution, climate change has resulted in profound impacts on forest ecosystems due to higher carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration or CO2 fertilization, warmer temperatures, changes in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and natural disturbances. As a result, hydrological processes in forested watersheds have been altered by these natural and anthropogenic factors and these changes are expected to accelerate due to future changing climatic conditions. Hence, understanding how various environmental, physiological, and physical drivers interactively influence hydrological and biogeochemical processes in forest ecosystems is critical for sustainable water supply in forested watersheds. About 21% of the global population depends on water sources that originate in forested catchments where forest coverage larger than 30%. Furthermore, there are knowledge gaps in our understanding of the mechanism of hydrological and hydrochemical cycles in forested watersheds. This Special Issue addresses these gaps in our knowledge and includes twelve papers in the following three major research themes in forest watershed areas.
