* when we were on Vancouver Island in 1987, we were camped at the edge
of a patch of intact forest surrounded by 17 year clearcuts, and we
observed that there was never any surface runoff from the forest, but
only from the clearcut or otherwise human-influenced sites.
A useful kind of ground-truthing would be for those living near forests
to select sites with comparable slopes which have intact and removed or
degraded woods, and to record, during heavy rainstorms, whether there is
surface runoff from each slope or not.
