This data publication contains hourly streamflow readings from three pairs of watersheds on the Hill Demonstration Forest (HF) and Umstead Research Farm (UF) from 2007 to 2013. Both sites are located north of Durham, North Carolina. The Hill Forest is owned by North Carolina State University and Umstead Research Farm is owned by North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The streamflow data will help refine our understanding of the interactions between the hydrological cycle, and forest land management or disturbances.
This data publication is used by USDA Forest Service scientists, staff and cooperators in support of research in hydrology, watershed management, silviculture, and forest ecology in the North Carolina Piedmont Region.
