Riparian Management for Water Quality & Fish Habitat

Explore the impact of hardwood harvest near streams on water quality and fish habitat. Learn about Alsea's Nitrate-N export, aquatic productivity, invertebrates, fish growth, and the importance of Alder in riparian stands. Discover the Explicit Riparian Design (ERD) system for managing riparian areas to maintain ecological functions and forest product yield sustainably. Evaluate stream response, forest functions, and watershed importance. Compare ERD with default practices and regulatory standards.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Is there any science that suggests hardwood harvest near streams has degraded water quality or fish habitat?

  2. Alder and Water Quality

  3. Nitrate-N Export from Alsea Source: George Ice

  4. Aquatic ProductivityOrganics, Invertebrates, Fish Growth

  5. Aquatic ProductivityOrganics, Invertebrates, Fish Growth

  6. Habitat and Alder

  7. Habitat and Alder

  8. How do we manage riparian stands with consideration for ecological functions, impacts, and benefits?

  9. Explicit Riparian Design (ERD) a riparian silvicultural system that tailors riparian management prescriptions to site-specific conditions to promote and maintain ecological functions (environmental services) and contribute to a sustained yield of forest products.

  10. Environmental Assessment • Stream Response & Connectivity • Riparian Forest Functions • Watershed Importance Conceptual Approach Explicit Riparian Design • Management Objectives • Riparian Function Requirements • Enhancement Potential • Harvest Option Riparian Design Effectiveness Assessment Regulatory Standards ERD versus Default Rx
