Modeling Large Wood Impacts on Stream Hydrodynamics and Juvenile Salmon Habitat

Creator:

Bair, Russell

Abstract:

Large wood (LW) pieces are recognized as an important habitat component for salmon freshwater habitat. As such, they are often used in stream habitat restoration practices despite a lack of knowledge about their impacts on spatial and temporal hydraulic characteristics relevant to fish habitat. In this thesis we present results...

The imprint of coarse woody debris on soil biological and chemical properties in the western Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Spears, Julie D. H.

Abstract:

The abundance and spatial heterogeneity of coarse woody debris (CWD) on the forest floor is a prominent feature of Pacific Northwest (PNW) forest ecosystems. The effect of CWD on soil solution chemistry, nutrient cycling and availability, soil physical structure and formation of soil organic matter, however, remains unknown. Therefore, studies...

Coarse Woody Debris on Soil Biological and Chemical Properties in the Western Oregon Cascades Abstract
Recruitment trends and physical characteristics of course woody debris in Oregon Coast Range streams

Creator:

Heimann, David C.

Abstract:

This study investigated the long-term consequences of timber stand removal on the recruitment, physical characteristics, and spatial distribution of coarse woody debris in small (second- and third-order) streams of the Oregon Coast Range. A chronosequence of stream-stand systems, ranging from 21- to 140-years since disturbance (YSD), were sampled to determine...
