| Notes | The original Alsea Watershed Study (1958-1973) was an extremely important examination of the effects of traditional logging practices on streams and led to the passage of the Oregon Forest Practices Act in 1971. In this paper, the authors contrast current logging practices with the historic methods documented in the original study. The good news is that current protection of riparian areas has held down stream temperatures and improved water quality for all the creatures that depend on it. |
