Abstract/Description or Keywords | Watershed managers have identified forest roads as the primary source of chronic sediment mobilization, regardless of region. This article is based on a project that addressed chronic surface erosion and sedimentation in coastal situations only. However, the processes we discuss are also of significant concern in the interior of the province, and many of our suggestions apply equally well to interior forest roads. Readers should note that episodic mass movements (i.e., earthflows, landslides, debris flows, etc.) are beyond the scope of this discussion. |
