<div>Closing paragraph, Eos, American Geophysical Union:<font
face="Lucida Grande"> "This comprehensive analysis yielded a
surprising result: Rather than the increase predicted in earlier
research, the team found little significant change in annual
streamflow-and in one catchment, streamflow even declined. They
attribute this major deviation to increased evaporation of snowpack
and soil moisture as dying forests expose the land surface to solar
radiation and wind, a topic examined in<i> Biederman et al.</i>
(<i>Water Resour. Res.,</i> 2014, doi:10.1002/2013WR014994). The
authors use these results to highlight the challenges faced by land
and water managers during a period of changing climate and widespread
ecosystem disturbance. (<i>Water Resources Research</i>,
