“…Besides, these studies were conducted on a limited number of storm or snowmelt events (Heathwaite et al, 1989;Hattanji and Onda, 2004;Langlois et al, 2005). Furthermore, the impact of forestry operations on the dynamics of SS production and export is often estimated with a low sampling frequency (weekly or less; Grayson et al, 1993;Cornish, 2001;Nisbet et al, 2002;Webb et al, 2012;Guevara et al, 2015;Witt et al, 2016;Hancock et al, 2017) and/or with samples taken only during some (not necessarily the most relevant) high-flow events (Grayson et al, 1993;Cornish, 2001;Motha et al, 2003;Hotta et al, 2007;Webb et al, 2012;Witt et al, 2016;Hancock et al, 2017). This may reduce the accuracy of the annual SS flux estimation and thus limit the scope of the studies.…”
