Dynamics of wood recruitment in streams of the northeastern US

A space-for-time analysis was used to quantify large wood loading to
28 streams in the northeastern US with a range of in-stream and
riparian forest characteristics in order to better inform stream
restoration and stream management efforts. We documented the current
volume and frequency of occurrence of large wood in streams with
riparian forests varying in their stage of stand development as well
as stream size and gradient. This data set includes wood, stream and
riparian forest metrics collected between 2003 and 2007. Linear models
relating stream wood characteristics to stream geomorphic and forest
characteristics were compared and results can be found in: Warren, D. R., C. E. Kraft, W. S. Keeton, J. S. Nunery and G. E.

(HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook
Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA
