Abstract: Stream systems in steepland forests typically produce high water quality for most of the forest rotation. Highest potential risks to these freshwater resources are associated with harvesting activities, flooding and debris flows resulting from intense rainfall events. A range of research initiatives aimed at reducing the potential risks to steepland forest’s freshwater resources are underway. Here we draw attention to these initiatives and other opportunities to assist in achieving this outcome.
