Snowmelt Runoff and Water Yield along Elevation and Temperature Gradients in California’s Southern Sierra Nevada
Differences in hydrologic response across the rain-snow transition in the southern Sierra Nevada were studied in eight headwater catchments – the Kings River Experimental Watersheds – using continuous precipitation, snowpack, and streamflow measurements. The annual runoff ratio (discharge divided by precipitation) increased about 0.1 per 300 m of mean catchment elevation over the range 1,800-2,...
متن کاملNumic Expansion in the Southern Sierra Nevada
Recent research indicates that late prehistoric Numic expansion onto the western slope of the southern Sierra Nevada was facilitated by a competitive edge held by migrating groups, mainly Great Basinderived settlement and subsistence behaviors finetuned to the uncertainties of living in Little Ice Age mountain environments. But ethnographic, linguistic, and archaeological evidence also sugges...
متن کاملTopography of the Southern Sierra Nevada
SEPTEMBER 2005, GSA TODAY ABSTRACT The paleoelevation of the Sierra Nevada, California, is important to our understanding of the Cenozoic geodynamic evolution of the North America–Pacific plate boundary, and the current debate is fueled by data that argue for conflicting elevation histories. The non-equilibrium or transient landscape of the Sierra Nevada contains information about both past and...
متن کاملCharacterizing fire severity patterns in three wildland fire use incidents in the southern Sierra Nevada
Wildland fire use (WFU) is a tool that has been utilized by managers in the Forest Service since the 1970s to reintroduce fire as a natural ecosystem process. Today it is also applied to meet additional resource objectives including restoration and maintenance of ecosystems and fire hazard reduction through lessening the extent and severity of future fires. Few studies have characterized the sp...
