Treatments ranged from periodic partial cuts to complete deforestation using herbicides. Total storm precipitation and average storm precipitation intensity were the most significant variables affecting peakflows, and were far more important than timber harvesting activites. Since January 1913, of the 20 highest ranked peakflows on the Cheat River at the Parsons gaging site, 11 have occurred since 1984 during a period of limited timber harvesting. These results support earlier findings that forests do not prevent floods and that prudent forest harvesting operations do not increase large flood peakflows. 517 $aFactors affecting large peakflows on Appalachian watersheds 606 $aForest influences$zWest Virginia$zFernow Experimental Forest 606 $aLogging$xEnvironmental aspects$zWest Virginia$zFernow Experimental Forest 606 $aRunoff$zWest Virginia$zFernow Experimental Forest 615 0$aForest influences 615 0$aLogging$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aRunoff 701 $aKochenderfer$b J.
