Watershed 7

Area: 2,036 ac (824 ha)
Elevation: 6,620 to 7,685 ft (2,019 to 2,344 m)
Vegetation: Ponderosa Pine
Parent Material: Basalt
Years: 1957 - 1973
Treatment: Thinning
Year Treated: 1958

 
Objective: To determine how a thinning of ponderosa pine affects streamflow, erosion and sedimentation, vegetation, and wildlife.
Treatment:
Response: Streamflow from WS 7 was not calibrated against flow from a designated control watershed prior to treatment, therefore a statistical analysis of treatment effects could not be made.
