Experimental Forest in the Western Oregon Cascades. A range of scenarios is used to generate hypotheses about the variability of hydrologic response to roads. Simulation results are also compared with results from an empirical study in the H.J. Andrews

A series of 75 non-bordered plots was used to measure surface erosion on granitic road cuts on forest roads in the mountains of Idaho. Erosion data were collected for 4 years following road construction. Both mass and surface erosion processes were
Effects of forest roads on flood flows in the Deschutes River, Washington

demonstrated that higher flows occurred in ditches draining clearcuts compared to forested areas. Contrary to expectation, road cutslope height did not seem to affect culvert peak runoff. A distributed hydrologic model was used to evaluate road effects on peak
