Creator:: Paustian, Steven Julius
Abstract:: The protection of water quality and the maintenance of productive anadromous fisheries is a primary concern in the Pacific Northwest. Excessive suspended sediment loads is a principle water quality problem on small wildland watersheds in this region (Anderson, 1971; Brown, 1972). Man's activities have been shown to increase sedimentation rates...

Creator:: Robison, E. George
Abstract:: The characteristics and interactions of the riparian stand, large woody debris (LWD), and channel morphology were examined on five undisturbed, low gradient streams in southeast Alaska. One first-, two second-, one third-, and one fourth-order streams were studied. Stream morphology variables were measured systematically at fixed intervals of three to...

Creator:: Veldhuisen, Curt N.
Abstract:: This study examined the occurrence of coarse woody debris (i.e., pieces greater than 0.15 m in diameter and 2.0 m in length) in first- through fifth-order streams located within the Drift Creek Basin of the Oregon Coast Range. Nine "tributary reaches" were surveyed to determine how three land management treatments...

Creator:: Kaufmann, Philip Robert
Abstract:: Tracer-derived estimates of hydraulic resistance and transient hydraulic storage were related to measures of pool volume and channel morphometric variability in small streams of the Oregon coast, U.S.A. Fourteen 100 m study reaches in 3 streams were selected to compare channel and hydraulic characteristics in streams representing a time series...

Creator:: Gillilan, Scott E.
Abstract:: The characteristics and associated storage dynamics of approximately 2000 pieces of fine woody debris (FWD; 2.5 cm <diameter<10 cm and 0.3 m<length<10 m) was evaluated over a three-year period in two undisturbed salmonid nursery streams in Southeast Alaska. To index a given reaches propensity to capture and store FWD over...

Creator:: Friedrichsen, Paul T.
Abstract:: The Upper Sprague River Watershed (North and South Forks of the Sprague River) in south central Oregon provides important habitat for salmonid species, including native bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) and redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss ssp.). Concern over the loss of viable habitat for these species has increased due to reductions...

Creator:: Holaday, Steven A.
Abstract:: The Steamboat Creek basin drains 227 mi² (588 km²) of steep forested terrain into the North Umpqua River of Southwest Oregon, 39 mi (63 km) northeast of Roseburg. Summer base flows for Steamboat Creek average 83 cfs (2.35 m³/sec). Steamboat Creek and its tributaries are considered important to the production...

Creator:: Dent, Elizabeth F.
Abstract:: Esmond Creek is a tributary to the Siuslaw River located in the Oregon Coast Range. It is 18 km in length and drains a watershed area is 48.9 km². Average channel gradient of the study reach is 0.9%. In 1988 a landslide occurred in the Esmond Creek watershed involving approximately...
