1. Excessive sediment (or soil) inputs
2. Nutrient enrichment
3. Acidification.

2/n Most sediment inputs from forestry occur during forest operations.
These include:
· road construction
· thinning
· clear-felling

3/n Much of the risk of sediment release can be mitigated against by employing good practices such as
· the use of brash matts along machine routes
· planning to avoid wet conditions
· the careful design of forest roads and water crossings,
· the use of sediment traps in drains,
