| Notes | This most interesting article addresses the effects of different riparian borders on fish and amphibians in streams after a second thinning. The consideration of amphibians as indicators of ecosystem health is appreciated. While different widths of riparian borders favored different species, in general the broadest border (~70 m.) benefitted the most species. |
