NotesThis study looks at 12 sites in the Oregon Coast Range to see how removing trees from a watershed affects the woody debris, a vital part of fish habitat, in streams for years afterwards. All streams studied had had trees removed, either through logging or wildfires. The stream stands ranged from 11- to 140-years since the land had been disturbed. Traces how vegetation and stream debris changes over time. Detailed maps of creeks showing vegetation and debris placement.
