Abstract: 

Current interest in effects of forest management and other dis-turbances has prompted the need to develop large-scale hydrology allow researchers to investigate the effects of alternative cuttingpatterns on stream flows and provide managers with a tool forplanning harvest activities across the landscape. We currently aredeveloping such a model for watersheds within the H. J. AndrewsExperimental Forest in Oregon. Data sets collected at the Forest overseveral decades include hydrologic information on basins rangingin size from 10 to 6,000 hectares, a detailed meteorologic record, anda well-documented land-use history.
