In this dissertation, a hydrologic classification approach was tested using the shape factor of hydrographs to represent variation in streamflow regimes across Alberta. Hydrograph shape factor was effective at separating the forested landbase into 6 spatially distinct regions. Further statistical analysis of hydrometric data showed each region to have unique streamflow characteristics. Differences in physiography between regions were evident and strong associations were found between physical catchment characteristics and hydrologic variables describing streamflow magnitude and timing. In a case study, findings were used to define the regional natural range of hydrologic variation and applied into a watershed assessment tool evaluating the potential changes to streamflow regimes as a result of forest disturbance. This analysis showed that because of hydrologic variability among regions, spatial variation in sensitivity to harvest likely exists within the forested landbase, highlighting the need for development of regional criteria and indicators for sustainable management of water resources. / Forest Biology and Management
