	note = {Forest practices have undergone radical changes in the last fifty years.  Are current practices more effective in preventing sediment from entering streams after logging?  Yes.  This paper examines sedimentation in three neighboring basins that were clear-cut, patch-cut and uncut.  The study covers the 2006-2016 water years and contrasts this data with data from the 1960s.  Historical practices included clearcutting without streamside buffers, slash burning and road building.  These practices increased annual sediment yields about 2.8 times and degraded aquatic ecosystems.  In contrast, the authors {\textquotedblleft}found no evidence that contemporary harvesting techniques affected suspended sediment concentrations or yields{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).},
