Abstract

Three experimental watersheds allow studying hydrological consequences of Mediterranean forest in France. Results are very different from one to other, in relation with complexity of rain-runoff relationship. Forest cut does not systematically increase floods. Considerations about hydrological processes allow understanding apparent contradiction between different results.
