Forest impacts on snow accumulation and melt in a semi-arid mountain environment

Snowmelt is complex under heterogeneous forest cover due to spatially variable snow surface energy and mass balances and snow accumulation. Forest canopies influence the under-canopy snowpack net total radiation energy balance by enhancing longwave radiation, shading the surface from shortwave radia...
