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...

A study of in stream complexity in three Oregon Coast Range watersheds

Creator:: Anderson, Paul Khalil
Abstract:: This study investigates patterns of physical structure organization in stream networks. In particular, it seeks to describe patterns of wood, boulders, pools and slope that are evident in stream channels and to determine whether patterns of these elements are influenced by network-level controls. The four in-stream parameters were combined to...

Channel morphology and hydraulic characteristics of torrent-impacted forest streams in the Oregon Coast Range, U.S.A.

Creator:: Kaufmann, Philip Robert
Abstract:: Tracer-derived estimates of hydraulic resistance and transient hydraulic storage were related to measures of pool volume and channel morphometric variability in small streams of the Oregon coast, U.S.A. Fourteen 100 m study reaches in 3 streams were selected to compare channel and hydraulic characteristics in streams representing a time series...

Geomorphic influences on habitat formation, distribution, and development and the classification of upland coastal Oregon streams

Creator:: Hurley, Michael D.
Abstract:: A framework is presented for a more causal explanation and ordering of stream characteristics than traditional means have used. Patterns of stream habitat distribution are related to particular characteristics of the geomorphology of watersheds. Variability in stream characteristics can be explained by the spatial distribution of properties of the watershed...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of sediment and wood in headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: May, Christine L.
Abstract:: Channels that were scoured to bedrock by debris flows provided unique opportunities to calculate the rate of sediment and wood accumulation, to make inferences about processes associated with input and transport of sediment, and to gain insight into the temporal succession of channel morphology following disturbance. In an intensive investigation...

Effects of stream restoration on macroinvertebrate communities in an Oregon Coast Range system

Creator:: Christensen, M. Jo
Abstract:: Stream-restoration projects are usually designed to improve habitat quality for fishes. These projects manipulate flow patterns, substrate distribution, and amount and placement of large woody debris. Consequently, they also affect the size and composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community. This research evaluates two types of fish habitat restoration: off-channel structures...

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...

Influences of clearcut logging on macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwaters of the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Banks, Janel
Abstract:: This research was designed to broaden the understanding of how timber-harvest affects aquatic macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwater streams. This study compared emergent and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages from 20 headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range that varied by harvest condition and flow duration. Through comparison of the...

Establishment and growth of natural and planted conifers ten years after overstory thinning and vegetation control in 50-year-old Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R.
Abstract:: Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...

Stream metabolism and suspended sediment concentration data from two streams in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Segura, Catalina, Cargill, Samantha K., and Warren, Dana
Abstract:: This dataset includes the datasets of suspended sediment concentration and environmental variables used to model stream metabolism, and the modeled stream metabolism results for two streams. For more information, see Cargill, SK (2019). The Influence of Lithology on Stream Metabolism in Mountain Systems. MS Thesis, Oregon State University.
