dc.description.abstractPredicting the effects of forest management on watershed processes and streamflow is a complex activity. Intricate linkages often exist between disturbances and consequences for an affected resource (e.g., Alila and Beckers 2001; Moore and Wondzell 2005; Pike et al. 2007). Models are increasingly used to investigate the potential effects of forest management on hydrologic processes and the resulting consequences to watershed values (e.g., Hudson and Quick 1997; Whitaker et al. 2002; Schnorbus and Alila 2004a; Alila and Luo 2007; Forest Practices Board 2007; Moore et al. 2007). To date, modelling efforts have been primarily limited to the research community, and the routine use of watershed models by resource managers and their consultants is not widespread. Because of the large scale and intensity of recent forest disturbances (e.g., mountain pine beetle) and the ramifications of climate change, a need exists to develop and apply models that will examine the potential effects on watershed function and that will support management decisions (Redding et al. 2009).
