Linking instream wood recruitment to adjacent forest development in landscapes driven by stand-replacing disturbances: a conceptual model to inform riparian and stream management.

The article reports that linking instream wood recruitment to adjacent forest development in landscapes driven by stand-replacing disturbances like a conceptual model to inform riparian and stream management. Topics include the instream wood plays an important role in stream morphology and creation of fish habitat in conifer forests throughout the temperate zone, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest many streams currently have reduced amounts of instream wood due to past management activities.
