Forest Hydrology
Forest hydrology is the study of the distribution, movement, and quality of water within forested ecosystems. It focuses on how forests interact with the water cycle, including processes such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, and runoff. Forest hydrology examines the impacts of forests on water quantity and quality, as well as how water influences the health and functioning of forest ecosystems. This field encompasses research on watershed management, water conservation, water pollution, and the sustainable use of water resources in forested areas.
