The intrusion of logging debris into artificial gravel streambeds

Creator:

Garvin, William Fredrick

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to quantitatively describe the intrusion of logging debris into artificial gravel streambeds during conditions of low stream flow with a stable streambed, and begin an analysis of the effect of high flow and unstable streambeds. This study was initiated because prior studies indicated that...

Modeling the impact of logging debris on the dissolved oxygen balance of small mountain streams

Creator:

Berry, John David

Abstract:

Previous research has indicated that considerable amounts of finely divided slash accumulate in small mountain streams following timber harvesting. The subsequent biological decomposition of this organic matter can result i.n the reduction of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration to levels as low as 0.6 ppm. These DO levels are lethal to...
