70th Anniversary Seminar Series

Fraser Experimental Forest
USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station
CSU Course: EY 592 Section 01 353857

 

The Fraser Experimental Forest was established to address questions regarding relations between forest management and hydrologic processes in subalpine forest ecosystems. Fraser’s paired watershed studies have contributed greatly to our current knowledge of the controls on water yield and watershed biogeochemistry of snow-dominated catchments of the Rocky Mountain West. Much remains unknown about how natural disturbance, climate variability and landscape patterns influence watershed processes. Fraser’s current research builds on long-term hydrologic, climatic and biogeochemical records to assess the consequences of bark beetle outbreak on watershed conditions.
