This literature review addresses how wide a streamside forest buffer needs to be to protect
water quality, habitat, and biota for small streams (≤~ 100 km2 or~ 5th order watershed) …

Small streams constitute the majority of the water courses in a catchment and have specific
characteristics that distinguish them from larger streams and rivers. Despite their small size …
