Simulated effects of emerald ash borer2011-present•Three treatments:
• Control, Girdled, Ash-cut
• Simulate stages of infestation
•Replicated small watersheds (~0.5-3 ac): hydrologic, nitrogen, and carbon responses
•Paired watersheds: hydrologic, nitrogen, and carbon responses
•3 separate planting sites
•GLRI funded through US Forest Service

Simulated effects of emerald ash borerMeasurementsReplicated sites: • Pre- treatment: 2012
• Post-treatment: 2013-2014• Some through 2017+
• Precipitation (gross and throughfall)
• Water table depth
• Sapflux (transpiration) (exc. ash-cut)
• Soil CO2 and CH4 emissions
• Stem CO2 and CH4 emissions (controls only)
• N fluxes via litter, stemflow, and throughfall
• Source water analysis: Isotopic analysis of throughfall, snow, soil water, groundwater
• Air and soil temperature

Impacts from forest management activitiesFord Forest, 2015-2016
Snow roads have potential to reduce impacts of forest access on soil water resources
• Test impacts of snow roads on soils:• Bulk density, temperature, moisture,
infiltration
• Traffic passability
• Snow melt rate
• Vegetation cover
