Popis: Forest harvesting by cutting off the nutrient cycling processes affects the water quality causes the soluble nutrients in the plant to be washed out and flowing through the soil to the river. The type and method of harvesting are important factors in the amount of nutrients get out from the area. The present study aims at investigating the effect of forest harvesting on runoff quality components in plot scale (2m*1m) with four replicates in tow slope scale (0-20%, 20-40%) in the northern forests of Iran during December 2014, December 2015. The rain depth was measured by using a rain gauge installed in the study area. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of forest harvesting on water quality. Samples were analyzed for EC, TDS, pH, anions (Chlorine, sulfate, bicarbonate) and cations (Calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium). Kruskal- Wallis Test at 0.01 significance levels was used. The results of the study showed that there was significant effects of forest cover and slope (P
