- Title
Origin and Transport of Aeolian Sediment from New Clearcuts into Boreal Lakes, Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

- Abstract
Movement of aeolian (wind-blown) inorganic sediment was indexed in and around new riparian and upland clearcuts in northwestern Ontario, Canada with bucket-style terrestrial litterfall traps. Aeolian sediment originated primarily from clearcuts, roads, and skid trails, where soil disturbance was high and forest hitterfall was low. Relatively small amounts of aeolian sediment were recovered from riparian buffer strips and upland forest. Aeolian sediment was observed to reach lakes adjacent to the clearcuts and may be responsible for elevated levels of littoral sedimentation measured in one study lake. However, the amounts of sediment deposition observed are not likely to cause important changes in water quality or benthic habitat for algae, invertebrates, or fish in these lakes.
