- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the effects of forest litter on snow surface albedo in the south-central British Columbia's forests. It discusses the three sites included in the study such as a mature mixed lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, and subalpine fir. It says that the weather station measures the downward shortwave radiation, air temperature, and humidity. Results show that the forest litter has a significant impact on snow albedo and on ablation.
