Best Balance Of
Agri. and Forest
Lands Sought
Contrary to popular belief,
completely forested watersheds
may not provide the best pro
tection against Spring floods,
visitors to the Watershed areas
of the Stone Valley Experi
mental Forest of Penn State
University heard recently.
The statement was made dur
ing a tour held in connection
with the 60th anniversary cele
bration of the School of For
est Resources at Penn State.
William E. Sopper, associate
professor of watershed man
agement, said streamflow from
forested lands runs off more
rapidly in the Spring than
streamflow from agricultural
lands.
Dr. Sopper and Dr. Howard
W. Lull, adjunct professor of
forestry, U.S. Forest Service,
showed clear-cut areas where
they are experimenting to find
the best combinations of for
est and non-forest land to con
trol annual Winter-Spring run
off and create a more uniform
streamflow.
These forestry scientists said
the Winter-Spring runoff in
forested areas starts later and
moves more rapidly than run
off in non-forested areas. On
the' average, the streamflow in
forested areas takes 86 days
to produce one-half the yearly
flow while the runoff in non-

forested areas requires 102
days to yield one-half the year
ly flow. Their statements were
based on eight years of re
search in the experimental wa
tersheds at Stone Valley and
17 years of streamflow analy
sis from watersheds through
out Pennsylvania.
Snow is held under forest
cover longer than on non-for
ested lands, they pointed out.
The longer the snow remains,
the higher the probability of
rain falling on the snow, ac
companied by warmer tempera
tures. This combination causes
a rapid release of snow, they
explained.
Beginning date of the high
ly concentrated flow period is
about January 24 for non-for
ested areas and about Febru
ary 12, or three weeks later,
for the forested watersheds.
