Sediment size and supply exert a dominant control on channel structure. We review the role of sediment supply in channel structure,
and how regional differences in sediment supply and landuse affect stream restoration priorities. We show how stream restoration
goals are best understood within a common fluvial geomorphology framework defined by sediment supply, storage, and transport.
Landuse impacts in geologically young landscapes with high sediment yields (e.g., coastal British Columbia) typically result
in loss of instream wood and accelerated sediment inputs from bank erosion, logging roads, hillslopes and gullies. In contrast,
northern Sweden and Finland are landscapes with naturally low sediment yields caused by low relief, resistant bedrock, and
abundant mainstem lakes that act as sediment traps. Landuse impacts involved extensive channel narrowing, removal of obstructions,
and bank armouring with boulders to facilitate timber floating, thereby reducing sediment supply from bank erosion while increasing
export through higher channel velocities. These contrasting landuse impacts have pushed stream channels in opposite directions
(aggradation versus degradation) within a phase-space defined by sediment transport and supply. Restoration in coastal British
Columbia has focused on reducing sediment supply (through bank and hillslope stabilization) and restoring wood inputs. In
contrast, restoration in northern Fennoscandia (Sweden and Finland) has focused on channel widening and removal of bank-armouring
boulders to increase sediment supply and retention. These contrasting restoration priorities illustrate the consequences of
divergent regional landuse impacts on sediment supply, and the utility of planning restoration activities within a mechanistic
sediment supply-transport framework. 相似文献

Vegetation in subalpine meadows in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is particularly vulnerable to lowering of groundwater levels because wet meadow vegetation is reliant upon shallow groundwater during the dry summer growing season. These ecosystems are especially vulnerable to channel incision as meadow aquifers are hydrologically connected to tributaries, and many have not yet recovered from previous anthropogenic influences. While instream restoration projects have become a common approach, lack of postrestoration monitoring and communication often result in a trial‐and‐error approach. In this study we demonstrate that preimplementation modeling of possible instream restoration solutions, chosen to raise stream stage and subsequently groundwater levels, is a useful tool for evaluating and comparing potential channel modifications. Modeling allows us to identify strategic locations and specific methods. Results show additional sediment depth and roughness on tributaries along with introduced woody debris (simulated by high roughness) on the Tuolumne River are the most effective means of raising stream stage. Results demonstrate that restoration efforts are most efficient in tributary streams. Managers and planners can more efficiently direct resources while minimizing the potential for negative impacts or failed restoration projects by modeling the possible effects of multiple restoration scenarios before implementation. 相似文献

/ A predictive model for assessing stand condition as a function of suitability for achieving specified management objectives was originally developed using a data set for only 28 stands. In this study, we evaluate the model using an operational-sized data set composed of currently collected stand inventory data for 238 stands in the Snowy Range of the Medicine Bow National Forest in southern Wyoming. We compared its predictions of old growth suitability to results of a separate special old growth survey. Stands were characterized as profiles of variables derived from stand inventory data, and plotted as points in two-dimensional space where similarity between stands was reflected by the distance between their points. Results suggest the model is useful for classifying stand condition using relatively large sets of data currently collected during routine stand inventories. 相似文献

用大型底栖动物和ODP系统评价珠江的有机污染 总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1
采用大型底栖动物需氧有机体百分率ODP(oxygen demander percentage)法对广州珠江前航道、西航道和流溪河的下游段进行河流有机污染评价.结果显示:底栖动物需氧类群密度在三河段间分布确有显著性差异,并根据其ODP可以判断流溪河水质相对较好,水质级别为中国地表水环境质量标准(EQSSW)Ⅳ级,西航道和前航道水质级别都为Ⅴ级.通过测试,这一方法能成功地应用在珠江及流溪河,且该法可以较好地匹配于EQSSW五级评价系统,初步认为ODP系统可以成为一个较好的河流水质生物监测方法.图3表4参13 相似文献
