Effects of beaver on stream channels and coho salmon habitat, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

Creator:: Sanner, Carol Jo
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: Fisheries presented on May 1, 1987. Title: Effects of Beaver on

Sedimentation of beaver ponds in an Oregon Coast Range stream

Creator:: Ringer, Gina O.
Abstract:: Through the trapping of sediment behind dams, the presence of beaver in a watershed may cause substantial changes to fluvial and geomorphic processes. In an effort to investigate sedimentation patterns in beaver ponds in the Oregon Coast Range, a case study was made of the annual accumulation of sediment in...

The spatial distribution of beaver (Castor canadensis) impoundments and effects on plant community structure in the lower Alsea drainage of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Perkins, Thaïs Erbel
Abstract:: Stream systems in the Pacific Northwest have come to be understood in the absence of beaver (Castor canadensis). To understand the effect of beaver upon riparian plant communities, four basins in the lower Alsea drainage were examined to determine the effect of beaver and their impoundments on streamside herbaceous/shrub and...

Habitat classification and characteristics of small mammal and amphibian communities in beaver-pond habitats of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Suzuki, Nobuya
Abstract:: During 1988-1989, stream habitat variables were compared between beaver-dam sites and unoccupied-stream sites to identify variables that may have been important for beaver (Castor canadensis) in selecting dam sites in the streams of the Drift Creek basin, Lincoln County, Oregon. Increasing valley floor width and grass/sedge cover and decreasing stream...

Groundwater elevations and temperature adjacent to a beaver pond in central Oregon

Creator:: Lowry, Michael M.
Abstract:: This study was designed and implemented to observe the spatial and temporal dynamics of groundwater levels and temperatures adjacent to a beaver pond in semi-arid central Oregon. The study site was located on the eastern boundary of Painted Hills National Monument along Bridge Creek, a tributary to the John Day...

Physical dimensions and hydrologic effects of beaver ponds on Kuiu Island in southeast Alaska

Creator:: Beedle, David L.
Abstract:: Dimensional characteristics of 44 beaver dams and ponds on Kuiu Island in Southeast Alaska were determined to evaluate the hydrologic effects of these structures on peak flows. The study area consisted of low gradient, incised streams in broad U-shaped valleys. Pond routing simulations were conducted using four return intervals (2-,...

Spatial and temporal characteristics of groundwater levels adjacent to beaver ponds in Oregon

Creator:: Sharps, Diana E.
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to evaluate the spatial and temporal characteristics of riparian groundwater tables adjacent to beaver ponds. The research was conducted in two parts; in the first portion a two-dimensional, finite-difference computer model was developed and utilized to simulate groundwater elevations through time in pond-adjacent aquifers. Two types...

Effects of beaver on streams, streamside habitat, and coho salmon fry populations in two coastal Oregon streams

Creator:: Bruner, Karen L.
Abstract:: The effects of beaver (Castor canadensis) on stream morphology, riparian zones, and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) fry in Cape and Cummins Creeks, Oregon, were examined using stream surveys, vegetation transects, and coho salmon fry counts in 1987. The basin around Cape Creek has been extensively logged since the late 1940's....

Influence of hillslope and instream processes on channel morphology of Esmond Creek in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Dent, Elizabeth F.
Abstract:: Esmond Creek is a tributary to the Siuslaw River located in the Oregon Coast Range. It is 18 km in length and drains a watershed area is 48.9 km². Average channel gradient of the study reach is 0.9%. In 1988 a landslide occurred in the Esmond Creek watershed involving approximately...
