Buffer Strips and Tree Windthrow: Proglem or Habitat Enhancement?
(University of Washington Water Center, 2007-11-27)Martin will discuss windthrow in buffer strips. He will compare the effects of logging to the effects of storm exposed landscapes. Next, he will ask: What are the effects of tree windthrow in buffer strips on fish habitat? ... -
Effect of Forest Harvesting and Riparian Buffers on Headwater Stream Temperatures
(University of Washington Water Center, 2010-02-17)Headwater streams are small in size, but can be 80% of stream length. They have a high density in steep terrain and have a high biodiversity of invertebrates, amphibians and fish. However, they are very sensitive to landscape ... -
Evaluating North Creek Channel Conditions After Restoration
