      Abstract
      Timber harvest may have both direct and indirect effects on salmon, and with

      a few exceptions those effects result in lowered survival of salmon in their

      stream habitats compared with unlogged forest (Hicks et al. 1991b). Some

      impacts may be seen immediately or shortly after logging, whereas others can

      take decades to be expressed. Central to analyzing these effects is the context

      of the freshwater environment in which salmon are spawned and reared, and

      the life histories of the salmon species. This chapter will examine the effects of

      timber harvest on the freshwater habitat and life stages of salmon. It will also

      investigate the hypothesis that the salmon species least affected by timber

      harvest are those with the least reliance on stream habitats.
