[8/8] Ces résultats invitent à repenser la gestion forestière. Plutôt que des coupes uniformes, des formes irrégulières et diversifiées permettent de maintenir la fonction de stockage de l’eau. L’organisation de l’espace forestier devient un levier de gestion hydrologique. #geography #hydrology

Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain The way we manage forests can undermine their ability to retain water, leading to excess runoff.

Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain | The-14 Forest loss is making watersheds “leak” rain, study finds. Managing forest patterns can reduce runoff, sustain streams, and maintain watershed integrity.

Annual runoff trends across the Pan-Arctic Region. The figure illustrates the spatial distribution of the annual percentage change in runoff across the Pan-Arctic region expressed as percent per year, estimated using the prewhitened Mann–Kendall trend test. Grid cells where the trend is not statistically significant (p-value >0.05) are faded out.
