Abstract / Summary:
This report contains the Proceedings of the Second Erosion in Forests Workshop held in Warburton in May 1999. This volume of short papers and abstracts reflects the wide range of research approaches and tools currently used to measure and model the impacts of timber harvesting activities, including road construction and vegetation changes, on water quality and quantity. The workshop follows on from the first meeting held in Bermagui in March 1997 where over 70 people gathered to discuss various aspects of forest research on in-stream water quality and forest management. We are happy to have a similar number of people attend the workshop in Warburton where the 24 presentations and one day field trip* into the neighbouring Mountain Ash forests around Noojee will provided the focus of our discussions.
The Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology's Forest Hydrology Program draws to an end in June 1999 and this event represents a very timely opportunity to examine issues for future research and to discuss appropriate means to transfer the findings of this research to the industry and wider community. We place considerable value in our ability to deliver quality products and tools to the relevant stakeholders and workshops such as this one which provide a very important forum in achieving this end. I hope you enjoy the meeting and I lood forward to hearing your views on the way forward in technology transfer for Forest Hydrology Research.
