The Effects of Vegetation on Stream Bank Erosion
… quality improvement, habitat restoration, and stream bank stabilization. While considerable research has been conducted on the effects of riparian buffers on water quality and aquatic habitat, little is known about the influence of riparian vegetation on stream bank erosion. The overall goal of …

Off-stream water sources for grazing cattle as a stream bank stabilization and water quality BMP
… conducted in order to evaluate cattle behavior, stream bank erosion and water quality due to the installation of off-stream water sources for grazing cattle as an alternative to stream bank fencing. The study was located on two commercial cow-calf operations in southwest Virginia which utilized …

Scales of Bank Roughness and Their Relationship to Bank Erosion Processes
Stream bank erosion rates and the stabilization of channel width are poorly understood processes. There have been two distinct approaches to the study and prediction of bank erosion rates in natural streams. In order to predict bank shear stresses, scientists either define a reach as being …

The Effects of Microhabitat and Land Use on Stream Salamander Occupancy and Abundance in the Southwest Virginia Coalfields
… to biota. In central Appalachian headwater streams absent of fish, salamanders are the dominant, most abundant vertebrate predator providing a significant intermediate trophic role. Stream salamander species are considered to be sensitive to aquatic stressors and environmental alterations …

Analysis of riprap design methods using predictive equations for maximum and average velocities at the tips of transverse in-stream structures
Transverse in-stream structures are used to enhance navigation, improve flood control, and reduce stream bank erosion. These structures are defined as elongated obstructions having one end along the bank of a channel and the other projecting into the channel center and offer protection of erodible …

Rare Earth Elements as a Tracer to Understand Sediment Fate and Transport in Small Streams
… is a major source of water quality impairment in streams, rivers and lakes in the US. However, sediment fate and transport in small streams is poorly understood. Previous attempts to characterize sediment transport often insufficiently represented the physical and chemical sediment properties and …
