Comparison of methods to estimate population density of Pacific giant salamanders in small streams of the southern Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Leuthold, Niels C.
Abstract:: I compared hand sampling, two-pass multiple removal sampling, mark-recapture and catchability-based population estimates for the Pacific giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) at 22 sites in 11 streams of Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Mark-recapture and catchability-based population estimates were not significantly different (p 0.86). Hand sampling and two-pass multiple removal population estimates...

Incipient resuspension of silt-clay deposits in oscillatory and unidirectional flows

Creator:: Talebbeydokhti, Nasser
Abstract:: Incipient motion of cohesive sediment and the role of flow parameters were investigated for separate and combined unidirectional and oscillatory flows. Sediment from Sturgeon Lake, mainly silt and clay with organic matter, was used as bed material In recirculating and wave flumes. Bench-type experiments indicated that when the submerged sediment...

Relationships between seasonal suspended sediment behavior and reservoir turbidity

Creator:: Conner, Dan Alan
Abstract:: The causes of turbidity in impounded and released reservoir water are studied. Seven Willamette Basin reservoirs are compared to isolate watershed and reservoir characteristics which produce variations in turbidity. Of the seven, Hills Creek Reservoir is examined in detail. Particular features of the basin and impoundment are studied to isolate...
