Predicting logging debris accumulation in natural streambeds : a method for forest managers

Creator:

Hess, Vernon Scott

Abstract:

This study has analyzed factors which affect the accumulation of terrestrial organic debris within natural gravel streambeds. In addition, the amounts, sizes, and physical conditions of intruded material were measured, along with the effect of the detritus on intragravel dissolved oxygen levels. Measurements indicate that aged intragravel detritus had no...

Natural debris and logging residue within the stream environment

Creator:

Lammel, Richard Friedrich

Abstract:

Amounts of natural debris in small headwater streams under old growth stands of Douglas-fir vary from 6 1/2 tons per 100 ft. of stream to 26 tons per 100 ft. of stream, depending on terrain and timber characteristics and sequence in the natural accumulation-flushing cycle. Approximately 10% of the weight...

Recruitment trends and physical characteristics of course woody debris in Oregon Coast Range streams

Creator:

Heimann, David C.

Abstract:

This study investigated the long-term consequences of timber stand removal on the recruitment, physical characteristics, and spatial distribution of coarse woody debris in small (second- and third-order) streams of the Oregon Coast Range. A chronosequence of stream-stand systems, ranging from 21- to 140-years since disturbance (YSD), were sampled to determine...
