| Title | Influence of Beaver Dams on Channel Complexity, Hydrology, and Temperature Regime in a Mountainous Stream |
| Creator | Wheaton, Joseph M. |
| Description | Beaver dams and beaver activity affect hydrologic processes, sediment transport, channel complexity and water quality of streams. Beaver ponds, which form behind beaver dams, increase in-channel water storage affecting the timing and volume of flow and resulting in the attenuation and flattening of the hydrograph. Channel complexity also increases the potential for transient storage (both surface and subsurface) and influences stream temperature. Impacts of beaver dams and beaver activity on... |
