Wind direction and effect of tree lean on coarse woody debris production

Creator:

Bustos-Letelier, Oscar

Abstract:

The natural fall of trees in riparian areas is an important source of coarse woody debris for mountain streams, improving fish habitat and influencing stream morphology. Existing models consider the probability of coarse woody debris entering a stream channel based upon trees having a random direction of fall without consideration...
