Restoring a Natural Fire Regime Alters the Water Balance of a Sierra Nevada Catchment

Fire suppression in western U.S. mountains has caused dense forests with high water demands to grow. Restoring natural wildfire regimes to these forests could affect hydrology by changing vegetation composition and structure, but the specific effects on water balance are unknown. Mountain watersheds...
