Gales Creek Large Woody Debris Inventory Report

Figures

Figure 1. Study area showing the identification, start and end of each surveyed reach.

Figure 2. Map of reach GL02, showing the start (-S) and end (-E) of the reach. No debris accumulations were observed within the GL02 surveyed reach.

Figure 3. Photos of GL02 facing into the start of the reach (upper) and the end of the reach (lower). These photos show pool, glide and riffle habitats encountered within the reach GL02.

Figure 4. Map of reach GL05 and GL06, showing the start (-S) and end (-E) of each reach, and LWD debris jams within the surveyed portion of the reaches.

Figure 5. Photos of GL05 facing into the start of the reach (upper) and the end of the reach (lower). These photos show pool, glide and riffle habitats encountered within the reach.

Figure 6. Debris jams in GL05: left bank (upper photo) and gravel bar, mid-channel (lower photo).

Figure 7. Photos of GL06 facing into the start of the reach (upper) and the end of the reach (lower). These photos show glide and pool habitats encountered within the reach.

Figure 8. Photo of the large debris jam, spanning the wetted channel, in GL06.

Figure 9. Map of reach GL08 and GL09, showing the start (-S) and end (-E) of each reach, and LWD debris jams or other noted features within the surveyed portion of the reaches.

Figure 10. Photos of reach GL08 facing into the start of the reach (upper) and the end of the reach (lower). These photos reveal glide and pool habitats encountered within the reach; riffle habitats were also observed in GL08.

Figure 11. Debris jam, located mid-channel, within a pool (upper photo) and two beaver dams (middle and lower photos), spanning the wetted channel in GL08.

Figure 12. Photos of reach GL09 into the start of the reach (upper) and the end of the reach (lower). These photos show pool, glide and riffle habitats encountered within the reach.
