EOS: Bark Beetles Cause Big Tree Die-Offs, but Streams Flow Steadily
10 Mar 2016
News Source: READ MORE from EOS >>
EOS article written by Lily Strelich features research conducted by CZO investigators and their colleagues, which shows that bark beetle epidemics that caused regional-scale tree mortality in many snowmelt-dominated headwater catchments of western North America does not result in annual stream flow increase as previously reported.
