About this document
Forestation Impacts on Andean Hydrology by monica oviedo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document is a systematic review of 155 studies that examined the impacts of forests and forestation on hydrological services in the Andes region. The review found that 20 years of tree plantation was sufficient to recover soil infiltration rate and reduce erosion close to levels of native forests, but forestation did not fully recover soil organic matter, water storage, or reduce surface runoff within the study timescales. While forestation benefits hydrological regulation, it reduces total water suppl
