The Upper Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Assesment

The Upper Columbia River Basin Assesment project is an integrated research effort with the U.S. Forest Service to characterize various ecosystem processes at a coarse scale (2 km). The purpose of this project is to assess what impacts, historical and future, management of federal lands within the Columbia River Basin have on ecological integrity.

The following are products of a regional ecosystem modeling effort generated using daily meteorological data, landcover and vegetation data from AVHRR, and soils data.

Investigators: Peter E. Thornton, Joseph D. White, and Steven W. Running

• Net Primary Production 1989

• Hydrologic Discharge 1989
