  4. 3. Clear-cut Effects on Snow Accumulation and Evapotranspiration in a Boreal Catchment in Northern Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Mikaela Rudling; [2013]
    Keywords : : Clear-cut; HBV; boreal forest; runoff; evapotranspiration; snow accumulation; avverkning; HBV; avrinning; evapotranspiration; snöackumulering;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the processes behind an unexpected runoff behaviour after a clear-cut in a boreal forest in northern Sweden (Balsjö). The risks of increased flooding, erosion, nutrient leakage and changes in the local ecosystems are some reasons why it is important to fully understand the effect of clear-cuts on the water balance.
