The effects of various timber management histories on the dynamics of riparian forests was analyzed to determine if the length of time since timber harvest and the width of the riparian buffer zone had a measurable effect on variables such as canopy cover, solar radiation, the ratio of hardwood to conifer dominance, and the occurrence of individual species. Ten sites were sampled in the coastal...
