| Notes | "This study was undertaken to: (1) determine long-term trends over the period 1969-90 of summertime water temperatures in the mainstem of Steamboat Creek, selected tributaries, and in Boulder Creek, an unharvested control stream in an adjacent watershed and (2) evaluate spacial patterns of maximum water temperatures in the Steamboat Creek basin during the summer of 1990." (from the Abstract) Found that, while low-water temperatures in the basin are high, as forest management practices evolved, stream temperatures in the basin decreased. Continued protection of riparian vegetation is necessary, particularly for steelhead trout. |
