Influence of Forest and Rangeland Management on Anadromous Fish Habitat in Western North America: Planning Forest Roads to Protect Salmonid Habitat

摘要

The construction and existence of forest roads, landings, and decking areas may have significant effects on anadromous fish habitat. Major effects discussed in the paper are increased sedimentation from transportation networks, the hinderance to fish migration of drainage structures, and possible changes in water quality from road stabilization additives. Guidelines and recommendations to decrease or eliminate adverse effects are also given.
