Water quality changes along hyporheic flow paths may have important effects on river water quality and aquatic habitat. Previous studies on the Williamette River, Oregon, showed that river water follows hyporheic flow paths through highly porous deposits created by river channel meandering. To determine water quality changes associated with hyporheic...
The scientific literature on logging after wildfire is reviewed, with a focus on environmental effects of logging and removal of large woody structure. Rehabilitation, the practice of planting or seeding after logging, is not reviewed here. Several publications are cited that can be described as 'commentaries', intended to help frame...
The investigation described in this project will test the hypothesis that fluxes of carbon, barium, manganese, iron and uranium associated with fluid seepage at the San Clemente fracture zone significantly affect the geochemical budgets for these elements, and ultimately result in anomalously high benthic fluxes throughout the San Clemente basin.
This report summarizes accomplishments of the McKenzie River Focus Watershed Council (MWC) in the areas of coordination and administration during Fiscal Year 2000. Coordination and administration consist of prioritization and planning for projects; project management and implementation; procurement of funding for long-term support of the Council; and watershed education/outreach program...
