Abstract Degraded wetland systems with impaired hydraulic connections have resulted in diminished habitat opportunity for salmonid fishes and other native flora fauna the Pacific Northwest. Many of these lost habitats were once intertidal freshwater marshes swamps. Restoration is effected part by reestablishing tidal processes that promote connectivity, a central goal restoring rearing juvenile salmon Oncorhynchus spp. In Grays River system Washington, we measured hydrologic changes from...
Forests reduce snow accumulation on the ground through canopy interception and subsequent evaporative losses. To understand associated hydrological processes, studies have typically relied resource-intensive point scale measurements derived from weighed trees or indirect that compared between forested sites nearby clearings. Weighed are limited to small medium-sized trees, comparisons can be confounded by wind redistribution of snow, branch unloading, clearing size. A potential alternative...
Estuaries are essential habitats for recreational and commercial fish that shaped by both natural anthropogenic processes. In Louisiana a combination of climate change planned coastal restoration actions is predicted to increase freshwater introduction estuaries. As such there need quantify the relationships between estuarine ecology salinity aid in predicting how species will respond shifts salinity. We investigated relative abundance dietary niches adult (24.5 ± 5.4 cm standard length)...
Abstract Wetland conservation increasingly must account for climate change and legacies of previous land-use practices. Playa wetlands provide critical wildlife habitat, but may be impacted by intensifying droughts hydrologic modifications. To inform playa restoration planning, we asked: (1) what are the trends in inundation? (2) factors influencing (3) how is inundation affected severe drought? (4) do certain playas refugia during droughts, (5) if so, patterns related to historical...
Forest canopies exert significant controls over the spatial distribution of snow cover. Canopy interception efficiency is controlled by intrinsic processes (e.g., canopy structure), extrinsic meteorological conditions), and interaction intrinsic-extrinsic factors (i.e., air temperature branch stiffness). In hydrological models, governing are typically represented two-dimensional metrics like leaf area index (LAI). To improve estimates their scalability, new approaches needed for better...
