Abstrakt:	Highlights: [•] We tracked 10-year animal responses to different stream buffer widths with forest thinning. [•] We found a risk to stream bank amphibian biodiversity of thinning within 6–15m of small streams. [•] We provide the first support for no adverse effect from US Northwest Forest Plan buffers, ∼70–145m. [•] A mixed approach of different buffer widths may balance forest management objectives and risks. [•] Our results may inform local management approaches and provide insights to other aquatic systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
