Title: Stream Stage at Weir on West Twin Creek Watershed
Description:
Abstract:
Human induced long-term changes in stream chemistry has been observed in eastern North America and Europe, but few long-term studies have been conducted in coastal western North America. The objectives of this research were to determine: (1)stream stage trends in stream chemistry in a pristine old-growth forest watershed. It was conducted in 58 ha West Twin Creek Watershed, Hoh River Valley, Olympic National Park, Washington from 1984 to the present. Vegetation consists of old-growth forest, with western hemlock, Douglas-fir, western redcedar, Pacific silver fir, and Sitka spruce all present.
Purpose:
The objectives of this research were to monitor stream stage height over a long time period in a pristine old-growth forest watershed on the coastal Olympic Peninsula of Washington.
