Add structure - small | Add wood. Create complex channel. | Food | % restoration potential | [NAME] and [NAME] | 20 | Stream habitat structure is the result of large wood, rocks and channel complexity that creates a heterogeneous array of habitats for different species and life stages.  We concluded that the addition of structural elements (e.g. large wood) is most effective in medium streams.  In small streams, wood often forms "bridges" across canyons, while in large rivers, wood primarily affects edge environments.

Restore channel function - small | Reconnect floodplain. Create complex channel. | Food | % restoration potential | [NAME] and [NAME] | 20 | Channel function is the normative process of energy dissipation in a stream and its watershed including the formation of meanders and floodplain connection.  This process creates habitats and contributes to substrate characteristics and water quality.  Channel stabilization and rip-rap simplify streams and eliminate many important habitat characteristics.  We concluded that channels were more naturally confined in small headwater canyons, while channel form in large rivers was the result of larger-scale valley issues.  We set the greatest effectiveness of channel management would be in medium streams.

Restore riparian - small | Protect and restore native riparian forest. | Food | % restoration potential | [NAME] and [NAME] | 60 | Riparian forests contribute to channel structure, moderate temperatures and add large wood to the stream.  The impact of riparian forests on the aquatic environment is inversely proportional to channel width.  Complete canopy closure occurs in small streams but in large rivers trees shad only a small portion of the channel.

Flow management - small | Flow control structures. | Channel Form | % restoration potential | [NAME] and [NAME] | 40 | Flow management addresses flow control structures such as upstream control dams.  These are a concern in the [NAME] and in the slough.   Disruption of flow patters has a profound effect on channel structure, temperature and water quality.  Many species' life histories are attuned to specific flow patterns.  These patterns can be adjusted to provide more normative conditions while supplying human needs.
