Book excerpt: Scientists, land managers and policy makers discussed whether riparian (stream side) forest management and policy for state, federal and private lands in western Washington are consistent with current science. Answers were mixed: some aspects of riparian policy and management have a strong basis in current science, while other aspects may not. Participants agreed that the same body of science, originally synthesized by the Forest Ecosystem Management Team (FEMAT) report in 1993, underlies most current federal, state and private land policy and management of riparian areas. With some exceptions, that underlying science base has been supported by most recent research. However, some riparian forest policy and management in western Washington have been implemented in ways that may drive riparian areas toward static and uniform conditions over large areas, an outcome that may not be consistent with current science consensus. Current thinking in the scientific community is that sustaining high aquatic productivity at the scale of large landscapes or river basins probably depends on maintaining dynamic and heterogeneous riparian conditions driven by disturbance processes that operate over large spatial and temporal scales. Recognition of this inconsistency of policy and management with current science appeared to be new, especially for the management and policy communities. Participants suggested steps to address the identified science-policy gap, including analyses to identify specifically what policies are and are not consistent with current science and landscape-scale experiments to test the effectiveness of management alternatives that apply current science.
