| Notes | Classic study. Three tributaries of Drift Creek, tributary to the Alsea River, Oregon were monitored between 1959-1973: Needle Branch, Deer Creek, Flynn Creek. Needle Branch was clearcut with no buffer strips. Deer Creek was clearcut with buffer strips. Flynn Creek was not logged. Needle Branch showed "significantly" higher water temperatures, less surface dissolved oxygen and lower intragravel oxygen levels, while streamflow and suspended sediments increased in Needle Branch. "Permeability of the gravel in Needle Branch was depressed from logging, and remained so during the post-logging years." |
