Forest Development, Wood Jams, and Restoration of Floodplain Rivers in the Puget Lowland, Washington
Historically in Puget Lowland rivers, wood jams were integral to maintaining an anastomosing channel pattern and a dynamic channel–floodplain connection; they also created deep pools. In the late 1800s, wood was removed from most rivers, rivers were isolated from their floodplains, and riparian forests were cut down, limiting wood recruitment. An exception to this history is an 11-km-long reach...
متن کاملGermination of Three Native Lupinus Species in Response to Temperature
Understanding germination requirements of native species is an important component of restoration in south Puget Lowland prairies (Washington, USA). We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of pre-germination treatment and germination temperature conditions on the proportional germination of three species of Lupinus. For one species, Lupinus lepidus, germination was highest following...
متن کاملBumble Bee Fauna of Palouse Prairie: Survey of Native Bee Pollinators in a Fragmented Ecosystem
Bumble bees, Bombus Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae:), are dominant pollinators in the northern hemisphere, providing important pollination services for commercial crops and innumerable wild plants. Nationwide declines in several bumble bee species and habitat losses in multiple ecosystems have raised concerns about conservation of this important group. In many regions, such as the Palouse Prair...
متن کاملNative Pollinators in Anthropogenic Habitats
Animals pollinate 87% of the world’s flowering plant species. Therefore, how pollinators respond to human-induced land-use change has important implications for plants and the species that depend on them. Here, we synthesize the published literature on how land-use change affects the main groups of pollinators: bees, butterflies, flies, birds, and bats. Responses to land-use change are predomin...
متن کاملStream Health Index for the Puget Sound Lowland
The NRCSE was established in 1996 at the University of Washington. Center activities include workshops and other research activities in areas of statistical methodology related to scientific problems in the environmental and ecological sciences. SUMMARY Stream health is often measured by the multimetric benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI). For Puget Sound Lowland (PSL) streams, the B-IBI ...
