Controlling water temperatures with buffer strips

Creator:

Brazier, Jon Roger

Abstract:

Buffer strips have been proposed as a method for controlling temperature changes in streams adjacent to clear-cuttings. Nine small mountain streams in Oregon's Coast Range and Cascade Mountains were studied to determine the influence of buffer strips on water temperature. Timber volume in the strip, strip width, and canopy density...

Buffer strips for stream temperature control

Creator:

Brazier, Jon Roger, Brown, George Wallace, 1939-, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory

Abstract:

During clearcut logging, complete removal of the forest canopy and the shade it provides to small streams can cause large increases in water temperature. Such increases in temperature can be prevented if buffer strips of vegetation are left along the stream to provide shade. The purposes of this paper are...
