| Notes | Master’s thesis. This thesis takes an interesting look at the use of large woody debris in stream restoration by including non-salmonid species in the study, as well as coho salmon. While earlier studies did not find close correlations between large woody debris and coho salmon spawning habitat selection, this study offers “support for the general finding that large wood restoration can benefit juvenile Coho Salmon, but also larval lamprey in some geomorphic contexts.” One problem with woody debris is that it can wash away and not be replaced due to current forest management practices. The author suggests that “restoration of large wood in streams over longer time frames may be more tied to restoration of the process of wood recruitment and less on active placement of wood in streams.” (p.28) The major professor was Jason Dunham. |
