NotesThis book chapter reviews paired catchment studies, “the most common approach used to assess the effects of forest management activities on streamflow” (p.192). Oregon has two major paired catchment studies, the Alsea Watershed Study and the Hinkle Creek Study, located in the Alsea and Umpqua Basins. This book chapter reviews studies in the United States and around the world and clearly explains the information gathered and associated issues. The authors indicate that future directions for studies will include more sophisticated statistical methods and numerical modeling.
