Description
- Abstract: The physical habitat of a stream forms the template from which the biological community can develop. The structure and complexity of the stream habitat influences the species composition, distribution, and production of the fish community. Assessing the status of stream habitat conditions in coastal Oregon streams is important for monitoring the effects of landscape and aquatic management practices on the character of riparian stream habitat. Comprehensive habitat assessments are also important for watershed assessments, restoration planning, and for studying the relationship between stream habitat, fish abundance, and fish distribution.
The goals of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (OPSW) Habitat Monitoring Program are to 1) provide an annual update on the status of stream habitat in Western Oregon, and 2) track trends in habitat over time. This report on stream habitat conditions covers sampling that occurred between June and October of 1999. The report is grouped into six different areas:
• Current habitat status by Gene Conservation Area (GCA)
• The status of habitat in relation to landscape variables
• An assessment of the high quality habitat existing on the landscape
• A comparison of 1998 and 1999 stream conditions
• An analysis of habitat variable precision
• An assessment of fish distribution outside of known coho salmon distribution
