This literature review addresses how wide a streamside forest buffer needs to be to protect
water quality, habitat, and biota for small streams (≤~ 100 km2 or~ 5th order watershed) …

Since the publication of the first edition (1994) there have been rapid developments in the
application of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology to stream management. In particular …

The thermal regime of rivers plays an important role in the overall health of aquatic
ecosystems, including water quality issues and the distribution of aquatic species within the …

Research on stream and river temperatures is reviewed with particular attention being given
to advances in understanding gained since 1990 and on investigations of fundamental …

Forest harvesting can increase solar radiation in the riparian zone as well as wind speed
and exposure to air advected from clearings, typically causing increases in summertime air …

1. The structure of lotic macroinvertebrate communities may be strongly influenced by land‐
use practices within catchments. However, the relative magnitude of influence on the …

River temperature has a major influence on biophysical processes in lotic environments.
River temperature is expected to increase due to climate change, with potentially adverse …

Despite the importance of forest edges in ecology, only one study has previously been
carried out in New Zealand on the modification of climate across forest edges. We measured …

Water quality, habitat, and biota were compared during spring amongst c. 100 m reaches on
11 streams draining pasture, native (podocarp‐broadleaf) forest, and exotic pine forest …
