 ces that feed North America’s large rivers originate from forested land. Fo
 rest canopies greatly affect the snow on the ground. Forest cover intercept
 s snowfall that subsequently sublimates back to the atmosphere – a water re
 source that is never realized. At the same time\, forest canopy shelters sn
 ow from wind and shades solar radiation\, facilitating a persistent provisi
 on of meltwater late into the spring. In this talk\, I present both empiric
 al data and models to review how forest structure impacts snow and the crit
 ical consequences of climate change and forest structure degradation on the
  hydrology\, meteorology and ecology of forests. The challenges and possibi
 lities to inform adaptive response by forest management practitioners and t
 he needs for robust\, community-based predictive models are discussed.\n\nM
