- Description:

- Abstract:
-
This data set is a spreadsheet that contains information on the sources of in-stream large wood and functional role of wood. These data were collected in 1998 from study basins in the Oregon Coast Range.
- Purpose:
-
To describe the patterns and identify the processes of large wood recruitment and redistribution at multiple locations in the drainage network, and to document the geomorphic function of large wood in headwater streams.
