2 FORWARD Project: Boreal Plain Watersheds 14 long term forest watersheds 6 reference, 3 burned, 5 harvested 2 Large Scale (129 & 247 km 2 ) 12 Small Scale (2.6 to 15.6 km 2 ) 6 additional MPB watersheds Boreal Plain
3 Boreal Plain forest Upland dominated by lodgepole pine, trembling aspen, white spruce and balsam poplar Lowlands dominated by black spruce and tamarack 325 to 625 mm ppt annually 1/4 as snow, spring melt Sporadic storms May to Sept. Predominantly deep clay till soils (luvisols) Wetlands and organic soils in low areas (histosols)

20 Conclusions & Recommendations Damping depth calculation modifications are required for Boreal forest conditions increasing the base depth constant improves the damping depth representation a function to modify the base depth constant with latitude or annual average temperature is suggested The damping depth definition should be modified abandon the % of T AAir definition adopt an absolute definition (eg. 2 o C range in temp.) Improved damping depth representation provides significant effect upon soil temp. calc deep in soil profife little effect upon near surface temperatures
