The role of forest stream corridor characteristics in influencing stream and riparian ecology
… PhD thesis seeks to consider conifer forestry stream corridor design in relation to both in-stream and riparian zone biodiversity and functioning. The contribution, availability and source of basal resources within varying corridor conditions are the focus of this project. This approach is …

Stream water quality corridor assessment and management using spatial analysis techniques: Introduction, evaluation, and implementation of the WQCM model.
… entering local reservoirs through vulnerable stream channels. This study presents a methodology that incorporates geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques for the creation of a stream corridor evaluation mechanism, coined the water quality corridor management (WQCM) …

Headwater stream network connectivity: biogeochemical consequences and carbon fate
… simple nor static environments. Heterogeneous stream corridors constitute the majority of river network length and regulate cycling of carbon and oxygen as they expand and contract their connections across the landscape. Though headwater streams integrate many biogeochemical signals from the …

Determining primary drivers of river bead functionality in mountain headwater streams
… Beads are disproportionately important to river corridor health. Bead functionality was evaluated as a relationship between driver variables, which directly measure or measure proxies of geomorphic and biotic system inputs, and response variables, which are proxy variables believed to most …

Stream channel adjustments and persistence of change in response to beaver damming on a fluvial fan, Odell Creek, Montana
Beaver damming in streams is thought to increase bed elevation through in-channel sediment storage, thus beaver reintroductions are used as a river restoration tool to repair incised stream channels. However, effects of beaver damming are dependent on specific stream hydrologic and geomorphic …

Land Cover Influences on Stream Nitrogen Dynamics During Storms
… on the effects of land cover influence on stream nitrogen have focused on base flow conditions or were conducted specifically within urbanized or primarily agricultural watersheds. While these studies have shown relationships between land cover and nitrogen, this relationship and the scale …

Form and function: quantifying geomorphic heterogeneity and drivers in dryland non-perennial river corridors
… including intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams, comprise the majority of drainage networks globally. However, ephemeral streams remain understudied compared to perennial counterparts, and the majority of extant studies focus on in-channel dynamics. Floodplains along perennial streams are …

Using Emerging Methods to Investigate Stream and Groundwater Interaction at Multiple Spatial Scales
<p>Fundamentally, streams represent physical conduits of water across gradients, yet a more holistic definition reveals stream corridors support a mosaic of living communities in a blend of surface and ground waters. The physical and biogeochemical patterns these dynamic systems support affect …
