Sediment budget and routing studies offer some improvements over traditional studies of small drainage-basin manipulations and individual erosion processes for analysis of impacts of forestry practices on soil erosion from hillslopes and sedimentation in streams. Quantification of long-term (century) and short-term (decadal) impacts awaits more detailed analysis of the dynamics of sediment storage in stream channels and at hillslope sites prone to failure by debris avalanches.
