Source Stream protection from forest practices: What are the costs and benefits, and how best to do it?

Summary

This project investigates forestry effects on small headwater streams on local as well as integrated catchment scale. We are looking into best management scenarios (riparian buffers) to mitigate the effects of forest harvest on freshwater organisms, processes, hydrology and biogeochemistry of headwater streams.
