  • Linkages among land use, riparian zones, and uptake and transformation of nitrate in stream ecosystems

    Creator:
    Sobota, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Land use alters the physical and biological structure of stream ecosystems and potentially alters their capacity to process nitrogen (N), an essential nutrient that has nearly doubled in abundance on the biosphere during the past century from human activities. In this dissertation, I quantified uptake and transformation of nitrate (NO₃⁻)...

  • A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

    Creator:
    Meleason, Mark Alan
    Abstract:
    Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...

  • Ecology of aquatic habitats associated with stream margins

    Creator:
    Moore, Kelly M. S.
    Abstract:
    The morphology and ecological importance of habitats associated with the margin of third-order stream channels in the Oregon Cascades were studied in streams in three different riparian types: 450-year-old conifers, 40-year-old alder, and an open, herbaceous-dominated clearcut. Margins, backwaters, and side channels in streams create important habitat for fry of...
