Aug 17, If the forest is removed or harvested, evaporation drops to 14 inches and stream flow increases to receive 26 inches of the annual 40 inches of precipitation. So, just the removal of forests can have an impact on streams in the watershed. Pollutant Removal and PhytoremediationEstimated Reading Time: 10 mins.

of trees in the watersheds, and the species composition in areas of regeneration were examined. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to quantify vegeta-tion change soon after and since the watershed was cleared of most of its woody vegetation, and to analyze spatial patterns of vegetation.

This relatively new ap. Apr 26, Trees cut runoff by breaking up the rainfall, and the water cascades down the tree trunk and sinks into the soil below. The drip from a tree’s branches and leaves has less force than rainfall, so the impact and resulting soil erosion is treeclear.barted Reading Time: 2 mins.

Jul 06, A watershed is an area of land that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet such as the outflow of a reservoir, mouth of a bay, or any point along a stream channel.

Watersheds can be as small as a footprint or large enough to encompass all the land that drains water into rivers that drain into Chesapeake Bay, where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. Jun 15, When a forest is burned or cut down and farmed temporarily, that land tends to undergo a series of changes. Some pioneer plants will quickly take hold, gradually changing the landscape- how much the Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins. Watershed Sonoma Creek Watershed Natural conditions and human activities influence the condition of a creek.

What takes place in the upstream areas will affect the downstream area. Changes may happen suddenly as the result of a storm (such as new stream bank erosion), or accu-mulated problems in the watershed may take.
