Watershed Condition, Turbidity, and Implications for Anadromous Salmonids in North Coastal California Streams
Klein R, Trush W, Buffleben M. 2008. Watershed Condition, Turbidity, and Implications for Anadromous Salmonids in North Coastal California Streams
Excerpt from Abstract: "It is widely acknowledged that historically intensive human disturbances increased erosion and sediment delivery rates to extreme levels in the 1950s through the 1970s across the north coast, and are likely continuing to affect turbidity durations to some degree. A more controversial question is to what extent contemporary land use is affecting present-day erosion, sediment delivery and turbidity. Using turbidity exceedence levels to indicate watershed disturbance, we approached this question from several perspectives."
