Synopsis

This book models the growth and yield of timber and water resources under human management in spruce-fir forests, often found in the Rocky Mountain region of the USA. The author, a principal silviculturist, focuses on predicting the hydrologic effects of timber harvesting in these forests to aid sustainable management practices. First published in 1975 as research conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the models and theories presented in this volume remain valuable for those involved in water resource management due to their foundational approach. Through the articulation of complex interactions between timber harvesting and water yield, this book guides the reader through a thoughtful and informative journey into the world of forest hydrology.
