| Abstract: |
Land use has had a major impact on habitat structure in the Southern Appalachians. One of the most conspicuous changes has been the loss of large woody debris (LWD). Human use has so changed the structure and composition of most forested watersheds that is difficult for average citizens to understand why LWD matters. Research is underway to determine the effect of adding LWD on trout, trout habitat, and macroinvertebrates in two southwest Virginia streams. |
