| Notes | The original Alsea Watershed Study ran from 1959-1973. It provided an important examination of the effects of logging practices of that time on streams and fishes. Today, this work enables researchers to compare current practices with those of the past in the same watersheds. This article describes the effects of a clear-cut with a riparian buffer (today) as opposed to a clear-cut over the creek (past). “In contrast to the previous timber harvest in the catchment when few logging regulations existed, current forest practice regulations and logging techniques appear to have reduced acute negative effects on coastal cutthroat trout” (from the Abstract). |
