Peak Flow Index (%) within the Skeena Watershed

Identification

Title: Peak Flow Index (%) within the Skeena Watershed
Abstract: Peak Flow Index for the purpose of this version of the protocol is the assessment unit-area normalized score calculated from Equivalent Clearcut Area (ECA). Equivalent clearcut area (ECA) is a modeled metric that attempts to relate the influence of forest cover disturbance (e.g., clearcuts) to changes in stream flow. ECA includes the area of land that has been harvested, cleared or burned, with consideration given to the silvicultural system, regeneration growth, and location within the watershed. It expresses the relative hydrologic impacts of disturbed forests compared to mature intact forest canopy, and reflects complex changes in flows resulting from changes in canopy precipitation interception, evapotranspiration, snow melt dynamics and runoff.
