Forest hydrology is the scientific study of how forests influence the movement, distribution, and quality of water. It examines the complex relationship between forest ecosystems and the hydrologic cycle, focusing on how trees, soil, and vegetation manage precipitation. The Hydrologic Cycle in Forests
