Relationships among in-stream physical habitat, land use, and geology in small coastal streams of northern Oregon

Creator:

Scott, Larissa E.

Abstract:

Salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest are at historic lows and many populations continue to decline. Previous studies have linked salmonid declines to land use through degradation of in-stream physical habitat, but few of these studies have taken geology into consideration. This study relates habitat parameters known to be important...

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...
