| Abstract/Description or Keywords | From 2005 to 2008, B.C. Ministry of Forests and Range field staff assessed a total of 1441 stream reaches located within or adjacent to randomly selected cutblocks (harvest areas) to determine stream and riparian conditions 2 years or more following forest harvest. The objective of these assessments conducted under the Forest and Range Evaluation program (FREP) was to determine whether forest and range practices had been effective in maintaining the structural integrity and ecological functions of stream reaches and associated riparian areas. Post-harvest conditions or “health” of the stream-riparian sites were categorized in terms of “properly functioning condition” (PFC). riparian, aquatic habitat, |
