Estimating large woody debris recruitment from adjacent riparian areas

Creator:

Minor, Kathleen P.

Abstract:

Large woody debris recruitment to streams from adjacent riparian forests influences stream channel morphology, sediment routing, and fish habitat. A mathematical model was developed to 1) determine whether the trees in a stand adjacent to a stream, upon falling, would provide large woody debris of a specified size to the...

Wind direction and effect of tree lean on coarse woody debris production

Creator:

Bustos-Letelier, Oscar

Abstract:

The natural fall of trees in riparian areas is an important source of coarse woody debris for mountain streams, improving fish habitat and influencing stream morphology. Existing models consider the probability of coarse woody debris entering a stream channel based upon trees having a random direction of fall without consideration...
