Abstract: Roads are a major source of sediment in most forests. The WEPP model is a process-based soil erosion model that may be applied to such forest roads. Example applications of the WEPP model to different road/stream configurations were presented. The WEPP model shows considerable promise in assisting ecosystem managers to predict the impact of forest roads on sedimentation in forest streams.
