	note = {An attractive climate relative to the rest of the state and nation draws more people to the Oregon Coast. Longer, drier summers bring more tourists, more forest fires and less available freshwater. Heavier winter rains bring more flooding and erosion events. Higher water temperatures cause the ranges of animals (terrestrial and aquatic) to change, increase toxic algae blooms, kill salmon and stress Dungeness crabs. Increasing ocean acidity stresses shellfish. More intense winter storms and higher sea levels threaten infrastructure.  These are some of the consequences of climate change outlined in this excellent report.  One of the more valuable aspects of this comprehensive look at climate change in our area is extensive quotations from local residents.  Good information on the Coos Bay and Newport areas.  This report is highly recommended. },

	note = {Red alder fixes nitrogen, and in the fall and winter it sheds nitrogen into coastal streams.  The result is that many coastal streams have at certain times of the year nitrogen levels that are unacceptably high, according to conventional environmental standards.  Current nutrient models for Oregon coast streams fail to adequately account for this natural process.  {\textquotedblleft}Our results provide evidence, at a regional scale, that background sources and processes cause many Coast Range streams to exceed proposed nutrient criteria, and that the prevalence of a single tree species (N-fixing red alder) exerts a dominant control over stream N concentrations across this region.{\textquotedblright}  (from the Abstract)},

  This report is important because it identifies winter habitat for coho ("stream complexity") as the most important limiting factor for the Oregon Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit coho recovery and production.  Other limiting factors include hatchery impacts, water quantity, water quality, and exotic fish species. Identifies viable populations. Distinguishes between populations that can persist when marine and freshwater conditions are unfavorable and populations dependent on reproductive contributions from strays from other basins.  Preliminary analysis "suggests that winter habitat (i.e. stream complexity) is a higher priority for restoring coho populations across the ESU than water quality." (p.20)},
