Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on Pathways to Resilient Salmon Ecosystems Evolutionary History, Habitat Disturbance Regimes, and Anthropogenic Changes: What Do These Mean for Resilience of Pacific Salmon Populations? (2009, background): “Conversely, many land-use activities increase the frequency of floods and landslides or alter the relationship between frequency and magnitude of these events (Ward and Stanford 1995, Collins et al. 2002, Poff et al. 2007).”
Effect of a change in physical structure and cover on fish and fish habitat in freshwater ecosystems – a review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “Removal of large debris was shown to generally reduce wetted width, reduce pools, and increase water velocity (Elliott 1986; Collins et al. 2002) and can potentially seriously degrade rearing habitat for salmonids (Pess et al.”
Effects of post-wildfire erosion on channel environments, Boise River, Idaho (2003, background): “Although side channels can also form at log jams (e.g., Harwood and Brown, 1993; Collins et al., 2002), minimal large wood was present in the Boise River basin study reaches.”
