Effects of Forest Practices on Stream Temperature: A Case Study from Hinkle Creek Watershed

This study examines the impact of modern forest practices on stream temperature at a watershed scale, focusing on Hinkle Creek. Co-authored with key contributors, the research delves into headwater stream canopy closure, August low flows, residence times in fish-bearing and non-fish-bearing streams, and groundwater influx in creeks like Fenton and Beeby. Insights on minimum and average daily temperatures, as well as surface flow conditions downstream, shed light on how contemporary forestry methods influence stream environments. The study, authored by Surfleet and Skaugset, provides vital data on temperature variations in Douglas County streams.
