Abstract: A key goal of the British Columbia Watershed Restoration Program is the restoration and protection of fisheries, aquatic and forestry resources that have been negatively impacted by past logging practices. To achieve this goal, a sound experimental design is required to evaluate the effectiveness of watershed-scale restoration techniques, and to assess their general applicability across various ecoregions throughout B.C. This report reviews and compares existing large-scale ecological experimental designs, and recommends a design that is suitable for watershed-scale management manipulations. Three potential problems in attempting to assess the effectiveness of watershed restoration are lack of replication, the risk of incorrectly assigning causal inferences (because of increased community complexity and interactions within an ecosystem framework), and the risk of spatial and temporal autocorrelations within the data. To circumvent these problems, we recommend a paired watershed approach, where physically and ...
