human health and environmental impacts, a landscape level perspective is...
Stream buffer strips are an important tool for protecting the stream environment. This research documents the losses from 40 stream buffer strips, in the Western Cascades of Oregon, established 1 to 15 years before the study. Predictive equations are developed
which identify the major reasons for buffer strip losses. Losses...
