Historic role of fire in determining annual water yield from Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest, Montana
Water production from mountain watersheds depends on total precipitation input, the type and distribution of precipitation, the amount intercepted in tree canopies, and losses to evaporation, transpiration and groundwater. A systematic process was…
