In the Pacific Northwest, regulatory agencies have recently
implemented management strategies for restoration and maintenance of wood
recruitment to streams over time. This allochthonous organic material is a
critical component in the geomorphic and biological structure of forested
streams. Mathematical models are commonly used to evaluate long-term
wood dynamics in...
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...
The Timber Resource Inventory Model (TRIM) is a computer
model used by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service in assessing the
state of the Nation's forest resources and the forests'
probable future conditions. TRIM is a yield table
projection system designed and developed to model forest
inventory changes over time in response...
