A Process-Based View of Floodplain Forest Patterns in Coastal River Valleys of the Pacific Northwest

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Floodplains in the Pacific Coastal Ecoregion (PCE) stem from steep eroding mountain landscapes in a rain forest environment, and sustain a rich array of natural resources. Like floodplains elsewhere, many of the approximately 200 coastal river valleys are profoundly altered by flow regulation and land conversion for agriculture and urban development, and these activities have contributed to widespread declines in...
