Excerpt from Effect on Streamflow of Four Forest Practices in the Mountains of West Virginia
The Fernow Experimental Forest is located in northern West Virginia (fig. 1) in mountainous country west of the main ridge of the Alleghenies. Drainage is via the Monon gahela River to the Ohio at Pittsburgh. The five study water sheds, which range from 38 to 96 acres in area, are contiguous or nearly so. The topography, geology, soils and forest cover (fig. 2) are generally representative of this part of the Appalachians.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the effects of forest treatments on streamflow and water quality. Four watersheds were monitored for six years before undergoing logging with different methods. The results show that cutting vegetation increases streamflow, with the amount of increase proportional to the severity of the cut. The study also found that poorly planned logging can cause water pollution, but most of the damage to water quality can be avoided by proper planning and care.
