Fine sediment intrusion, gravel framework size, and permeability in spawning riffles, Prairie Creek, northwestern California [abstract]
Klein RD. 1991. Fine sediment intrusion, gravel framework size, and permeability in spawning riffles, Prairie Creek, northwestern California [abstract]. Eos, Transactions. 72(44):209
The study examines fine sediments from construction upstream of important salmonid spawning areas in Prairie Creek, and potential effects on fish eggs. Eggs, gravel, permeability, and sediment amounts were monitored during the 1991 egg incubation period. More fine sediment was deposited just downstream of tributaries affected by the construction than in other areas. Relationship of fine sediment and permeability was not clearly indicated.
