Effect of soils on water quantity and quality in Piedmont forested headwater watersheds of North Carolina

Water quantity and quality data were compared from six headwater watersheds on two distinct soil formations, Carolina Slate Belt (CSB) and Triassic Basins (TB). CSB soils are generally thicker, less erodible, and contain less clay content than soils found in TB. TB generated significantly more discharge/precipitation ratio than CSB (0.33 vs. 0.24) in...

Measuring and interpreting flame height in wildland fires

Although advanced technologies are available for measuring and sampling fire intensity, their costs, limitations, or complexity often preclude general use in field experiments. The lack of quality measurements exacerbates the task of relating ecological responses directly to the fires that cause them. In this paper, a new technique for measuring flame height,...

Paired forested watershed experiments in the Piedmont of North Carolina

Understanding how regional-specific water resources respond to disturbances can serve as useful information to land managers as they aim to set flow targets needed to maintain ecological integrity in surface...

Inferring the contribution of advection to total ecosystem scalar fluxes over a tall forest in complex terrain

Multiple data streams from a new flux tower located in complex and heterogeneous terrain at theCoweeta Hydrologic Laboratory (North Carolina, USA) were integrated to identify periods of advectiveflow regimes. Drainage flows were expected a priori, due to the location of the measurement site at thebase of a long, gently-sloping valley. Drainage flow was confirmed by...

Urbanization alters watershed hydrology in the Piedmont of North Carolina

The ecohydrologic effects of urbanization that is dominated by forests clearing are not well understood in the southeastern United States. We utilized long-term monitoring data to quantify the annual water balance, stormflow characteristics, and seasonal flow patterns of an urbanized watershed (UR) (0·70 km²) and compared it to a fully...

Variations in canopy and litter interception across a forest chronosequence in the southern Appalachian Mountains

Variations in evapotranspiration (ET) have been well documented across a variety of forest types and climates in recent decades; however, most of these data have focused on mature, secondgrowth stands. Here we present data on two important fluxes of water, canopy interception (Ic) and forest floor litter interception (Iff), across a chronosequence of forest age in the...

Linking variation in intrinsic water-use efficiency to isohydricity: a comparison at multiple spatiotemporal scales

Species-specific responses of plant intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) to multiple environmental drivers associated with climate change, including soil moisture (?), vapor pressure deficit (D), and atmospheric CO₂ concentration (c_a), are poorly understood. We...
