Notes | Do contemporary regulations imposed on logging protect salmonids after a series of clearcuts in second-growth forests? That’s the question this study was intended to answer. Using a paired-watershed approach involving watersheds that were part of the original Alsea Watershed Study, the authors examined coastal cutthroat trout abundance, total pool area and stream temperature to determine the effects of clear-cut logging. Forest practice regulations seem to be working as intended, and post-logging conditions were good. |
