New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science

Table 3 Comparison of sediment attributes among streams in planted forest, indigenous forest or pasture ¹

¹The range of mean or median values were derived from tables and text or estimated from figures in references (Dons 1987; Fahey and Marden 2006; Hicks 1990; Quinn et al. 1997; O’Loughlin et al. 1978; Parkyn et al. 2006; Townsend et al. 1997; Young et al. 2005). Sediment yields in O’Loughlin et al. (1978)) were converted from m³ km⁻² yr⁻¹ to t km⁻² yr⁻¹ using 1.7 t m⁻³. Conversion figure derived from Phillips et al (2005).
