| Notes | "This study illuminates the complexity of the forces that influence sediment flux from a watershed and retention within an estuary. Sediment flux from the watershed was evaluated based on river discharge, hydroclimatic patterns, and harvest records in the basin. While previously logging has been assumed to have a great impact on sediment accumulation, and while there has been a change in the amount of harvest in the watershed, it appears that logging impacts are buffered within the watershed, minimizing their effect..."
