Description

2] Natural pieces of wood enhance habitat conditions and promote key ecosystem functions in streams. Wood pieces provide stable substrate for invertebrates and biofilms, entrap leaves and other organic matter, afford overhead cover for fish, promote hyporheic exchange flow and transient storage, enhance hydraulic heterogeneity, and encourage pool formation and channel meandering [Angermeier and Karr, 1984; Beechie and Sibley, 1997; Gregory et al., 2003; Johnson et al., 2003; Mutz and Rohde, 2003; Eggert and Wallace, 2007; Stofleth et al., 2008]. The frequency and character of wood inputs varies in space and time [Latterell and Naiman, 2007; Golladay et al., 2007] and is strongly affected by riparian management [Flebbe and Dolloff, 1995; Angradi et al., 2004; Kreutzweiser et al., 2005; Czarnomski et al., 2008].
