The effects of riparian forest disturbance on stream temperature, sedimentation, and morphology

JM Studinski, KJ Hartman, JM Niles, P Keyser - Hydrobiologia, 2012 - Springer
Forested headwater streams rely on their riparian areas for temperature regulation, woody
debris inputs, and sediment retention. These products and services may be altered by …
