Effects of Alterations to Low Gradient Reaches of Utah Streams (open access)

Effects of Alterations to Low Gradient Reaches of Utah Streams

This report describes an investigation of the effects of stream channelization on fish and macro-invertebrates in low gradient reaches of Blacksmith Fork River and the Logan River in the floodplain of Cache Valley in northern Utah. Channelization adversely affected both fish and macro-invertebrate populations and biomass, with the severity of impact directly related to the amount and duration of disturbance of the physical habitat.
