Response and Recovery of Water Yield and Timing, Stream Sediment, Abiotic Parameters, and Stream Chemistry Following Logging
Response and Recovery of Water Yield and Timing, Stream Sediment, Abiotic Parameters, and Stream Chemistry Following Logging
In 1977, Watershed 7 (WS 7) at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory was clearcut and logged using a mobile cable system that could access logs up to 300 m from a road and suspend the logs completely above the ground for transport to the logging deck. Watershed (WS) 2, a 12.6-ha watershed adjacent to WS 7, served as the experimental control. This chapter (1) summarizes and evaluates the long-term hydrologic and water quality responses to forest management; and (2) links stream responses with process level research conducted within the watershed.
