Description: Natural forest stands along perennial and intermittent streams, commonly called streamside zones (SZs), frequently are retained for wildlife habitat enhancement and watershed protection when adjacent stands are harvested. However, little is known regarding wildlife habitat relationships within SZs, especially as they relate to SZ widths and influences of habitat surrounding SZs. Thus, our objective was to quantify effects of SZ width and age/structure of adjacent pine plantations on small mammal communities in the Ouachita Mountains of west central Arkansas.
