Geospatial technology applications in forest hydrology
Abstract
Two separate disciplines, hydrology and forestry, together constitute forest hydrology. It is obvious that forestry and forest hydrology disciplines are spatial entities. Forestry is the science that seeks to understand the nature of forests throygh their life cycle and interactions with the surrounding environment. Forest hydrology includes forest soil water, streams and other small waterbodies encompassed by forest cover, and the hydorlogical cycle itself within a forested land cover.
