Forest hydrology: processes, management and assessment
This new book with 17 chapters is unique and different from the previous forest hydrology books in that world-renowned international professors, scientists, engineers, managers and researchers with a long background and expertise in forest hydrology, management and applications have authored/contributed individual chapters focused on almost all aspects of forest hydrology. Chapters 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 cover major advances in forest hydrology for areas ranging from tundra, taiga and mountains to tropics and from humid to dry climate forests, with new insights into landscape processes as affected by anthropogenic and natural disturbances such as extreme events (hurricanes, floods, droughts), wildfire, massive landslides and climate change. Chapter 12, with examples from Chapter 1, provides a review of past and current research on the hydrological effects of managing elements of the forest landscape. Chapter 11 discusses problems and statistical methods dealing with expanding knowledge gained from small watershed studies to much larger forest watersheds. Chapters 9 and 10 deal with numerical models and geospatial technology to address challenges of spatial scale, model uncertainties and assess impacts of disturbances and land-use change. Chapter 5 provides a European perspective on forest hydrology. Finally, the book ends with Chapter 17 highlighting the key points of forest hydrological processes in major biomes and providing recommendations for advancing forest hydrology in the remainder of the 21st century when humanity will be challenged by even more environmental complexity and in particular climate change
