Hydrologic Response to Conifer Removal and Upslope Harvest in an Encroached Montane Meadow

Abstract: Meadows are crucial components to larger river watersheds because of their unique hydrologic and ecological functions. Due to climate change, over grazing, and fire suppression, conifer encroachment into meadows has accelerated. In some western regions, nearly half of all meadow habitat has been loss due to conifer encroachment. Restoration of these hydrologic systems requires tree removal. Many studies exist that address the issue of conifer encroachment in montane meadows, however, few studies focus on the r… Show more

“…A before-after-control-intervention (BACI) study design was used [10][11][12][13] to evaluate the hydrologic response of meadow restoration to remove encroached conifers and upslope forest thinning. Linear regression was used to develop pre-restoration and post-restoration relationships between Marian Meadow, the intervention, or treated site, and a Control Meadow (Figure 1).…”
