Sediment production from forest roads in the upper Oak Creek Watershed of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Amann, Joseph R.

Abstract:

Unpaved roads are sources of chronic sediment in forested watersheds. Bare soil on roads is exposed to erosion from rainfall and runoff Published research on sediment production from forest roads focuses primarily on road characteristics. Since water drives the mechanics of sediment transport, hydrologic variables should correlate with sediment production....

Using in situ turbidity to estimate sediment loads in forested headwater streams : a top-down versus bottom-up approach

Creator:

Meadows, Matthew W.

Abstract:

Suspended sediment and in situ turbidity data from two western Oregon streams, Oak Creek and South Fork Hinkle Creek, were used to estimate annual sediment loads for the 2006 water year (October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006). Water samples and in situ turbidity observations were taken following the Turbidity...

Uncertainty in forest road hydrologic modeling and catchment scale assessment offorest road sediment yield

Creator:

Surfleet, Christopher G.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to advance methods for assessment of forest road hydrologic response and sediment yield at a catchment scale. This research looked at the effect of soil depth estimation on the Distributive Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM), assessed the uncertainty and accuracy of hydrologic modeling of...
