Relationship among physical and hydrological stream and drainage basin characteristics and riparian vegetation structure
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
The primary goal of this study was to examine the physical and biological structure of \nriparian zones along streams in the Boreal forest of Northwestern Ontario and to discover \nwhether riparian structure was related to key hydrologic variables, including watershed \narea and surficial geology. The first objective was to verify the relationship between \nwatershed area and physical and hydrological stream characteristics including discharge, \ntemperature, and gradient. The second objective was to determine the variability in \nstream characteristics within a watershed scale based on differences in physical and \nhydrological drainage basin characteristics. The third objective was to describe the \ndifferences in the vegetation communities in riparian zones and upland communities. \nThe fourth objective of the study examined riparian structure and composition along \nstreams within watersheds that differ in physical and hydrological characteristics. The \nMackenzie, Wolf, and Spruce River watersheds were used in a nested sampling design \nwith watershed area class as a grouping variable. A total of 40 streams were sampled \nhaving approximately 1 (n = 12), 10 (n = 12), 40 (n = 8) and 100 (n = 8) km2 watersheds. \nStream discharge, temperature and gradient, and riparian width and slope were measured \nwhile surficial geology was evaluated. Riparian and upland plots were sampled on both \nsides of the stream and vegetation species were recorded. The results showed clear \nrelationships among physical and hydrological stream and drainage basin characteristics \nand riparian vegetation structure. As drainage area increased, stream discharge and \ntemperature increased and stream gradient decreased. Stream temperature and gradient \nwere lowest in streams with meadow marsh riparian zones. Riparian width decreased \nwhile riparian slope increased with increases in drainage area. Riparian width was \ngreatest, and riparian slope least in meadow marsh riparian zones, while the width was \nnarrowest and slope greatest in conifer swamp riparian zones. Streams with both 1 and \n10 km2 watersheds had riparian zones which had lower vegetation species diversity than \nthe surrounding upland timber zone. A discriminant function analysis revealed Speckled \nAlder, Aspen, and Beaked Hazel characterizing the riparian zones of smaller streams (1 \nkm2 watershed), grasses and sedges characterizing the riparian zones of intermediate \nsized streams (10 km2 watershed), and Cedar, Honeysuckle and Currants characterizing \nriparian zones around large streams (100 km2 watersheds). There was a positive \nrelationship between drainage area and the drainage basin?s surface roughness, \nwidth/depth ratio, and stream channel sinuosity, while there was a negative relationship \nbetween drainage area and the drainage basin?s stream channel and basin slopes. This \nstudy characterized riparian vegetation structure along a stream continuum to understand \nbetter the structure and function of riparian communities and will be used as part of a first \nstep towards assessing the possible effects of timber harvesting on aquatic ecosystems to \nensure the effective management of riparian forest ecosystems.
