Practices such as dumping slash in streams lowered the amount of dissolved oxygen available to fishes.  This paper gives data from a second (The Alsea Watershed Study Revisited, 2006-2015) look at the streams featured in the original Study, in light of contemporary forest management practices.  The new research shows that small streams that can go dry in times of low flow may naturally have periods of low oxygen unrelated to logging. Contemporary logging does not seem to affect dissolved oxygen levels in streams. },

	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).},
