What is LARGE woody debris (LWD) and why is it important?
Accumulated dead wood in streams

What is LARGE woody debris (LWD) and why is it important?
Creates structure

What is LARGE woody debris (LWD) and why is it important?
Dissipates stream energy
![Page 5: Hlp 2009 12 prsnttn infosession spatialandtemporaldynamicsoflwdinstreamsofabfoothills daniels](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042721/568cad501a28ab186dab2d06/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is LARGE woody debris (LWD) and why is it important?
Bank stability and sediment storage
![Page 6: Hlp 2009 12 prsnttn infosession spatialandtemporaldynamicsoflwdinstreamsofabfoothills daniels](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042721/568cad501a28ab186dab2d06/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why are spatial and temporal variation in LWD important for streams?
LWD function depends on position relative to stream channel
LWD function changes over time
![Page 7: Hlp 2009 12 prsnttn infosession spatialandtemporaldynamicsoflwdinstreamsofabfoothills daniels](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042721/568cad501a28ab186dab2d06/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Research Questions• How much LWD is in foothills streams?• As LWD decays, how does function change?• What dynamic processes affect LWD?• How does disturbance affect LWD dynamics?• How does terrestrial coarsewood differ from
in-stream LWD?

Methods
• Surveys of stream reaches for abundance and function of in-stream LWD
• Surveys of riparian and upland forests for abundance of snags and logs
• Tree-ring reconstructions of forest dynamics and years of tree death
• Integration of tree-ring outcomes with HWP long-term permanent plot data

• 21 headwater streams
• width <3.5m, no transport
• mature riparian forests
