How does over two decades of active wood reintroduction result in changes to stream channel features and aquatic habitats of a forested river system? Earth Surface Processes and Landforms

Since the late 1980s and early 1990s, wood reintroduction has been a commonly assessed stream restoration technique. Many of the efforts have focused on short-term, localized physical changes and response of salmonids to wood reintroduction. Few have examined how long-term, spatially extensive increases in wood loadings alter stream channel morphology and the geomorphic processes responsible for these changes. We used before and after photos as well as a wood storage survey with tagged restoration logs in a small, low-elevation Western Washington water-shed to characterize the effects of 23 years of wood additions.
