Fifteen years after two experimental watersheds in the southern Appalachians had been converted from a mature deciduous hardwood cover to white pine, annual streamflow was reduced about 20 centimeters (20 percent) below that expected for the hardwood cover. Streamflow was reduced during every month, with the largest monthly reductions (1.5 to 3.5 centimeters) occurring in the dormant and early growing seasons.

Long-term hydrologic and stream chemistry responses of southern Appalachian catchments following conversion from mixed hardwoods to white pine
We summarize nearly 40 years of research on changes in water yield and timing of streamflow, and over 20 years of stream chemistry data, following conversion of two mixed deciduous hardwood forests…
Survival and growth of red pine planted on a hardwood site - a second look.
TLDR
A 55-year-old stand of second-growth northern hardwood growing on a well-drained sandy loam soil was converted to red pine to compare with an adjacent 1929 plantation, finding differences in early success.
Streamflow response to native forest restoration in former Eucalyptus plantations in south central Chile
Global increases in intensive forestry have raised concerns about forest plantation effects on water, but few studies have tested the effects of plantation forest removal and native forest…
Quantifying structural and physiological controls on variation in canopy transpiration among planted pine and hardwood species in the southern Appalachians
TLDR
This species-level understanding of variation in EL and GS and their interactions with climatic driving variables has important implications for predicting watershed-level responses to stand management, species invasion and loss, and climate variability.
Early successional forest habitats and water resources
Tree harvests that create early successional habitats have direct and indirect impacts on water resources in forests of the Central Hardwood Region. Streamflow increases substantially immediately…
