In forest dominated watersheds of Canada, both forest carbon (C) and water are critical for managing climate change impacts and protecting aquatic ecosystems. Understanding how forest C and water are integrated or coupled and their responses to forest disturbance at different spatial scales is urgently needed in Canadian landscapes. In this proposed research, we will use a combination of the Canadian CBM-CFS3 model with our well-established hydrological methodology to assess the effects of forest disturbance on forest C - water coupling in a large watershed (Deadman River watershed: 600km2) in the BC interior. While the CBM-CFS3 model is used for developing forest C dynamics, the hydrological analysis will be conducted to quantify forest C-water couplings. Following this study, UBC and our partner, Ecora, will jointly submit a separate proposal (NSERC CRD) for the purposes of studying how forest disturbance affects forest C-water couplings at various spatial scales (forest stand, small watershed and large watershed).

在加拿大以森林为主的流域，森林碳 (C) 和水对于管理气候变化影响和保护水生生态系统至关重要。加拿大景观迫切需要了解森林碳和水如何整合或耦合，以及它们在不同空间尺度上对森林干扰的响应。在这项拟议的研究中，我们将结合加拿大 CBM-CFS3 模型和我们完善的水文方法来评估森林干扰对 BC 内陆大流域（戴德曼河流域：600 平方公里）中森林 C-水耦合的影响。虽然 CBM-CFS3 模型用于开发森林碳动态，但将进行水文分析以量化森林碳-水耦合。 在这项研究之后，UBC 和我们的合作伙伴 Ecora 将联合提交一份单独的提案 (NSERC CRD)，旨在研究森林干扰如何影响不同空间尺度（林分、小流域和大流域）的森林 C-水耦合。
