Entrainment, transport, and deposition of large woody debris in streams : results from a series of flume experiments

Creator:

Braudrick, Christian A.

Abstract:

Although there has been extensive research on the geomorphic and ecologic role of large woody debris (LWD) in streams, the dynamics of LWD in streams are poorly known due to various measurement difficulties during floods. In this thesis I present the results of two flume experiments on the dynamics of...

Masters Thesis
A new index for describing the structural complexity of forests

Creator:

Zenner, Eric K.

Abstract:

Despite the critical ecological roles of structural features in forests, ecologically relevant quantitative measures of structure that allow comparisons among forest stands are still limited. A new index, the structural complexity index (SCI), was developed to characterize and compare the structural complexity of different forests. Point patterns of stem-mapped trees...
