—We explored the effects of elevated turbidity on stream-resident populations of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii using a spatially explicit individual-based model. Turbidity regimes were contrasted by means of 15-year simulations in a third-order stream in northwestern California. The alternative regimes were based on multiple-year, continuous monitoring in two streams. Tur...

During waning flood flows in gravel-bed streams, finegrained bedload sediment (sand and fine gravel) is commonly winnowed from zones of high shear stress, such as riffles, and deposited in pools, where it mantles an underlying coarse layer. As sediment load increases, more fine sediment becomes available to fill pools. The volume of fine sediment in pools can be measured by probing with a metal...

A watershed model can be used to better understand the relationship between land use activities and hydrologic and water quality processes occurring within a watershed. Two different models, SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) and HSPF (Hydrologic Simulation ProgramFortran), were selected in this study to simulate stream flow, sediment, and nutrients loading from the Polecat Creek watershed i...
