Reductions in Instream Wood in Streams near Roads in the Interior Columbia River Basin

Despite the success of recent management efforts to reduce streamside logging, instream wood recovery may be limited by the presence of near-stream roads. We investigated the relationships between the presence of near-stream roads and the frequency and volume of different size-classes of wood in str...

Description
Summary:Despite the success of recent management efforts to reduce streamside logging, instream wood recovery may be limited by the presence of near-stream roads. We investigated the relationships between the presence of near-stream roads and the frequency and volume of different size-classes of wood in streams in the interior Columbia River basin. We developed models to evaluate the average reduction in instream wood for streams near roads (
