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...

Fine organic debris and dissolved oxygen in streamed gravels in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Skaugset, Arne E.

Abstract:

Intragravel organic loading and intragravel dissolved oxygen were studied to determine the relationship between timber harvesting adjacent to first-, second-, and third-order streams and intragravel water quality. Twenty watersheds in the central Coast Range of western Oregon were studied of which five were undisturbed, nine were partially harvested, and six...
