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): “Disturbance regimes are driven by two main processes: fire in relatively small streams (Beechie et al. 2000) and channel migration and bank erosion in larger rivers (Beechie et al. 2006a, Laterell et al. 2007).”
Process-Based Principles for Restoring River Ecosystems (2010, background): “One key trade-off in the restoration design was to accept short-term increases in light and stream temperatures (predicted to be higher than reference values for less than 25 years) in order to achieve the longer-term restoration objectives of restoring flooding and native hardwood forests.”
A Review of Stream Restoration Techniques and a Hierarchical Strategy for Prioritizing Restoration in Pacific Northwest Watersheds (2002, methodology): “Beechie et al. (2000) provided guidance for determining when thinning is appropriate and when it will result in a loss of near-term recruitment of LWD that may create fish habitat.”
