How do trees and snowpack co-evolve following disturbance? New publication

This new publication sheds light into the coevolution of montane forests and snowpack response to forest treatments through the coupling of the process-based snow model SnowPALM and the ecohydrological model RHESSys.

Retaining snow & increasing baseflow to counteract rising stream temperatures

This study explores how climate and geology will affect future stream characteristics during the ecologically stressful summer months – and how land management activities that increase water storage as snow and groundwater while decreasing evapotranspiration may help mitigate some of the effects of climate change, especially in more arid watersheds. Boisramé, G., Harpold, A., Tague,Continue reading “Retaining snow & increasing baseflow to counteract rising stream temperatures”

Publication: Urban trees and irrigation reduction

This study used RHESSys to quantify how urban tree water and carbon fluxes are affected by irrigation reductions, and how that relationship changes with tree species and temperature – results have implications for water resources management before and during drought, and for urban tree climate adaptation to future drought. Torres, R., Tague, C.L., McFadden, J.P.Continue reading “Publication: Urban trees and irrigation reduction”
