| Title | A Comparison of Soil Moisture and Hillslope-Stream Connectivity Between Aspen and Conifer-Dominated Hillslopes of a First Order Catchment in Northern Utah |
| Creator | Burke, Amy R. |
| Description | Mountain headwater catchments in the semi-arid Intermountain West are important sources of surface water because these high elevations receive more precipitation than neighboring lowlands. The hydrology of these mountain catchments is especially important as the region faces water shortages and conflicts. Conifer encroachment on aspen stands has been observed across the western US and can result in a decline in water yield. The overall objective of this study was to further our understanding... |
