Hydrological effects of clear-cutting in a boreal forest – Snowpack dynamics, snowmelt and streamflow responses

► Clear-cutting increases snow water equivalents by 27%. ► Harvesting resulted in variations of timing and runoff volume of the spring freshet. ► Meteorological conditions during the melt determine melt water losses. ► Snowmelt represents 31–41% of the annual discharge in a Swedish boreal forest. ►...
