*Title:*

Ecohydrologic responses to forest fuel treatments and changes in wildfire
regimes

*Abstract:*

Vegetation dynamics and hydrologic processes are tightly interconnected.
Changes in vegetation can alter watershed transpiration, evaporation,
snowpack, and streamflow. Meanwhile, changes in hydrologic processes can
feedback and affect vegetation carbon uptake, growth, and vulnerability to
drought and pests. In this presentation, I will discuss my research into
the ecohydrologic effects of vegetation change. First, I will present the
results from two recent studies that quantified the effects of forest fuel
treatments on forest health and streamflow. I will then present on-going
research to couple an ecohydrologic model with wildfire and demonstrate how
this tool is being used to explore feedbacks between climate, vegetation,
fire regimes, and hydrology.

Ryan Bart is an ecohydrologist who examines the links between hydrology,
vegetation and disturbances under different climate regimes and management
practices. He is particularly interested in understanding how wildfire and
forest mortality lead to changes in forest composition/structure and the
implication of these changes on water resources. His work involves
examining complex coupled-systems using mechanistic and statistical models,
remote sensing, and geospatial data. Ryan received his Ph.D. in Geography
from a joint doctoral program between the University of California, Santa
Barbara and San Diego State University. He is currently a Project Scientist
with the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at the University of California,
Merced, having previously worked as a postdoc at the University of
California, Berkeley and the University of California, Santa Barbara.
