Description :
The objectives of this study were : to document spatial and temporal distributions of large woody debris (LWD) at watershed scales and investigate some of the controlling processes; and to judge the potential for mapping LWD accumulations with airborne multispectral imagery. Field surveys were conducted on the Snake River, Soda Butte Creek, and Cache Creek in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA. The AA. suggest a broad hypothesis for explaining woody debris distributions in mountain systems.
