(2012) Ecosystem processes and human influences regulate streamflow response to climate change at long-‐term ecological research sites. BioScience 62: 390-‐404. Forest Hydrology Science Portland, Oregon -‐ December 9-‐11, 2015 8 A2: Climate change is driving shi]s along the Budyko curve ElasFcity LEFT PANEL: climate driven deviaBons from curve RIGHT PANEL: e = elasBcity = range in DI/range in EI residuals e > 1 = high elasBcity (approximaBng Budyko curve) e < 1 = low elasBcity (deviaBng from Budyko curve) Creed et al. (2014) Changing forest water yields in response to climate warming: Results from long-‐term experimental watershed sites across North America. Global Change Biology 20: 3191-‐3208. 9 A3: Thresholds in climate warming exist that drive shi]s from “elasFc” (predictable) to “inelasFc” (unpredictable) behaviour Smaller elasBcity, larger deviaBons from Budyko curve Creed et al. (2014) Changing forest water yields in response to climate warming: Results from long-‐term experimental watershed sites across North America. Global Change Biology 20: 3191-‐3208. A4: Forest type (and forest age) likely influence deviaFons from Budyko curve Forest Hydrology Science Portland, Oregon -‐ December 9-‐11, 2015 Budyko curve provides an organizing principle for hydrological resilience QuesFons 5. Do climate-‐driven deviaBons from the Budyko curve have seasonality? 6. What are the effects on hydrological peak and base flows? 7. Are there feedbacks between forest and water yield? Creed et al.
