Hemlock Project

The objective of this project is to quantitatively evaluate the effects of differences in stand structure on wildfire resilience, water yield and the water cycle in the snow-rain transition zone by a program of field measurements, integration of data using hydrologic modeling, and assessment. The project is currently in the permitting and hydrologic data acquisition-planning phase. University of California, Merced is scheduled to install two complete weather stations, three soil moisture, metric potential, and snow monitoring clusters, and four water-stage recorders this summer/fall.
