The “channel-source hypothesis” proposes that the stream channel itself should be considered as a potential source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to stream water during storms.

New findings indicate that future climate conditions will increase vertical and downslope moisture loss from forest plantations, which represent a large fraction of forest cover of the Pacific Northwest of the USA.

For 50 years, researchers have been revisiting the same forests, the same trees, across the Pacific Northwest, measuring tree growth and mortality. The long-term, large-scale dataset enables scientists to answer complex questions about how forest dynamics vary across space and time.

We can expect aquatic insect emergence to occur earlier in the Lookout Creek stream basin as temperatures continue to warm due to climate change.

Differences in plant species composition of young and old forests can lead to very different post-fire outcomes.
