Influences of landslides, floods and land use on channel changes of the upper Middle Fork Willamette River, Oregon 1936-1980

Creator:

Lyons, Joseph Kevin

Abstract:

Time trends in flow and channel characteristics were evaluated for the Middle Fork Willamette (MFW) River, which drains a 668 km2 forested watershed in the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon. Timber production is the primary land use in the watershed. Analysis of precipitation and peak flow data from 1959 to...

Stream temperatures, riparian vegetation, and channel morphology in the Upper Grande Ronde River Watershed, Oregon

Creator:

Bohle, Todd S.

Abstract:

The Upper Grande Ronde River Watershed in northeastern Oregon is considered important habitat for threatened stocks of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Documented reductions in channel complexity and riparian vegetation within the watershed have increased concern over loss of viable habitat. An important component of salmonid habitat is stream temperature during...
