Siletz Watershed (5603 words) |
 | The Siletz forest supplied streams with plentiful large wood, moderated sediment and stream flows and buffered the watershed from the effects of intense winter storms. |
| The forest is dramatically younger, big logs in the streams are all but nonexistent (something the scientists say is essential for salmon) and populations of native salmon, steelhead and eels are a fraction of their former numbers. |
| Logging practices in the Siletz are directly responsible for reducing the size of wood in streams; and the size of wood in streams is directly related to how much habitat is available for salmon. |
