Effects of forest harvesting on snowmelt during rainfall in coastal British Columbia
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Rain-on-snow has been recognized as an event with potential for increasing flood and debris torrent hazards. However the effects of deforestation on increasing this hazard are not well understood. To better understand this phenomena a study was conducted in the Jamieson Creek experimental watershed near Vancouver B.C. Its primary objective was to determine the effects of forest harvesting on snow melt rates and subsequent runoff during rain-on-snow events. The energy balance of a snowcover and the theory of snowmelt are reviewed to better understand the processes involved during rain-on-snow. Techniques and instrumentation required to compute the energy budget are discussed, with the aerodynamic technique receiving greater attention. Also reviewed are the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1956) snowmelt equations and their applicability for rain-on-snow situations. The experimental set-up consisted of two study plots, one located in a recent cutover and a second in an adjacent Coastal Western Hemlock old-growth forest. Each plot was equipped with a large (22m[sup 2]) plastic sheet lysimeter recording through a tipping bucket arrangement, allowing comparison of snowmelt and runoff rates between sites. Direct measurement of snowmelt was also achieved using snow survey techniques. The USACE(1956) snowmelt equations were verified by comparing the computed melt with the lysimeter and snow survey results. Wind speed, relative humidity and air temperatures were measured at 0.6 and 1.5 meters above the snowpack to evaluate latent and sensible heat fluxes. Snowpack and ground heat exchanges were measured with a profile of five thermistors, and radiation was monitored with net all-wave radiometers. Three winters of data were collected (1981-82, 1982-83, 1983-84), with several storms being analysed from each of the last two years. Peak runoff intensities and total runoff amounts, during rain-on-snow were found to be greater at the forest site when there was presence of snow in the canopy. When there was no snow in the canopy runoff was always greater at the open site. The reasons for the greater runoff at either of the sites are discussed. The use of the USACE (1956) snowmelt equations generally compared favorably with the snow survey and lysimeter data, at the open site. However under certain specific conditions these snowmelt equations were shown to be inadequate for use at the forest site. The role of the forest canopy on snow and rainfall interception played a major role in explaining the differences in snowmelt and runoff rates encountered between the two sites.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
