Investigating the Effects of Woody Bioenergy Crops on Water Quality and Quantity Study #1: Potential Watershed Responses to Eucalyptus Culture in the Southern United States How much water does Eucalyptus use relative to other species? Are differences great enough to matter? Eucalyptus grandis plantation Study Region

Watershed above USGS stream gage Ichawaynochaway Creek at Milford Georgia Current Land Cover from NAS Uses a combination of observed tree & crop water use, & leaf-level models of E. grandis Developed AET/PET relationships & validated AET at the landscape scale with current LC & gage data (P-Ro) Run simulations with changing LC & climate

Investigating the Effects of Woody Bioenergy Crops on Water Quality and Quantity Study #2: Watershed Study on Hydrologic and Water Quality Effects of Interplanting Switchgrass in Plantation Pine (NC, AL & MS sites) Switchgrass interplanted with pine has potential for production of an energy crop without competition for land needed for food production. A paired watershed approach coupled with a model will be used to assess objectives. Loblolly Pine Switch grass

Monitoring & Predicting the Effects of Climate Warming on Brook Trout Habitat GCMs predict 1:1 ratio of air temperature rise to water temperature rise If accurate, then 80% loss of brook trout habitat with climate change Initial network of 50 stream temp and air temp sites ( ) across southern Appalachians showed 0.4:1 ratio Network expanded in 2010 to 204 sites out of 4000 sites, stratified random sample, most sites are on private land Loblolly Pine Switch grass

New study leverages existing southern Appalachian network & expands gradient to sea 3M people (both urbanization & agriculture) Rich aquatic biodiversity Severe projected impacts of climate change by 2050 Once you leave mtns, sites mostly on private lands Second largest estuary in the US Joint Venture Study Basin – Ecosystem Services Albemarle–Pamlico
