The peatland hydrologic impact model: development and testing.

Abstract

Questions concerning the effects of drainage, peat mining and timber harvesting on streamflow response in the N Lake States of the USA led to the development of the Peatland Hydrologic Impact Model. Three independent landtype submodels represent watershed conditions, either natural peatland, mined peatland, or mineral soil upland. The submodels were applied to test the model on the streamflow response from 3 different peatland watersheds.-from Authors
