This Supplement presents data syntheses and new evidence from temperate (primarily boreal) North American studies of aquatic ecosystem response to episodic watershed deforestation and acid rain. These studies confirm the dominant role of the…

A prime forest resource is clean water for downstream beneficial uses. Sediment from forests may impair those beneficial uses. Sedimentation by water erosion is rare unless road activities, timber harvesting, or fire disturb the forest. We have been…
