In many national guidelines and policies regarding protection of freshwater systems from stressors associated with forestry, riparian buffer width is a commonly prescribed strategy, typically with no other refinements of protection measures. In Sweden, the Strategic Management Objectives (SMOs) were developed to ensure that riparian buffers that are left after harvesting sustain important ecosystem attributes in aquatic systems, referred to as objectives, namely shading, biodiversity, reduction of sedimentation, and provision of deadwood and food. However, little specification is given on threshold targets or how to manage riparian zones to effectively provide these objectives. In this paper, we evaluated whether existing riparian buffers of different widths along small, recently harvested (
