Modeling the Effects of Forest Road Density on Streamflow in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Forested watersheds have often been managed for flood mitigation. Studies have shown that forests have the potential to minimize peak flows during storm events, yet the relationship between forests and flooding is inexact. Forest roads, usually found in managed systems, can potentially magnify the e...
