Abstract
In 1951, five weirs were constructed in the mixed hardwood forests of the Fernow Experimental Forest and watershed research began. Specializing in long-term watershed scale manipulations, researchers at the Fernow have evaluated effects of various silvicultural practices on water yield, seasonal flow patterns, water quality and on ecosystem processes and ecosystem services.
