| Notes | This study focused on the Yaquina and Klamath Rivers, in which Douglas fir and ponderosa pine logs were being rafted downriver at the time. It was designed to estimate how much bark was dislodged from logs when they were dumped into rivers and while they were floated downstream; how much bark sank after being dislodged; and how much bark was present in benthic deposits. It concluded "that large amounts of bark are added to the water courses used for log storage and that large amounts of bark debris presently exist in the benthic deposits of these water courses."
