Description:
Bedload samples were collected from 48 second and third order Lake Superior tributaries during snowmelt in 1998 and 1999. This work was part of a comparative watershed study evaluating the effects of hydrogeomorphic region, and instream, riparian, and watershed features on stream water quality, habitat and biota. Watersheds were selected to exhibit a gradient in percent mature forest cover and percent watershed storage (lakes + wetland area) within each of two hydrogeomorphic regions. For sites on the north shore of Lake Superior, preliminary analyses indicate that sites with greater than 50 percent mature forest cover (high mature forest)
