Abstract:

Published literature about six Pacific Northwest stream systems was contrasted to provide a regional perspective on channel response to disturbance. This investigation was prompted by a combination of recent environmental legislation, mounting social pressures to plan projects at a drainage basin scale, and the difficulty in defining and predicting the...

Historical change in channel form and riparian vegetation of the McKenzie River, Oregon

Creator:

Minear, Paula J.

Abstract:

This study examined channel structure and position and riparian vegetation and land use on the upper 70 km of the McKenzie River, Oregon in the 1940s, compared the 1940s conditions to present conditions, and explored the processes driving change in this system and the implications for aquatic habitat.

Sediment production and delivery in Pistol River, Oregon and its effects on pool morphology

Creator:

Russell, Periann

Abstract:

Sediment production and delivery in Pacific Northwest coastal streams can have damaging effects on channel morphology and anadromous fish habitat. The research in Pistol River was designed to determine if a link exists between sediment delivery processes and degradation of fish habitat. Objectives of this basin-wide analysis were to: 1)...
