Aquatic ecosystem analysis of two logged and two unlogged watersheds in Redwood National Park and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park
Reeves G, Roelofs TD, West J. 1976. Aquatic ecosystem analysis of two logged and two unlogged watersheds in Redwood National Park and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Arcata, CA
This study by a Freshwater Fisheries Ecology class examined Home, Squashan, Godwood, and North Fork Streelow creeks. The first two empty directly into the Pacific Ocean, with the latter two being tributaries of Prairie Creek. One of each category was extensively logged before establishment of Redwood National Park, and the other little or never logged. Information presented here on water quality, periphyton, benthic invertebrates, and fish is intended to aid management or restoration of these watersheds by identifying natural conditions and human impacts. The 26 tables give common and scientific names for riparian plants, birds, fish, and aquatic vegetation, and include a variety of other information about stream characteristics and inhabitants. Appendices are stream survey forms, and species lists of algae and invertebrate taxa.
