| Notes | Cold water in streams is essential habitat for some species, particularly Pacific salmonids. In this article, the authors compare the rain-and-snow Snoqualmie watershed with the rain-based Siletz watershed to assess the impacts of climate change in their process-based model. “Results suggest that salmonids may have fewer cold-water habitats in both watersheds . . . Our comparison of models highlights the importance of considering what might be gained by using a process-based model for evaluating and prioritizing management actions that mitigate climate impacts on cold-water habitats for stream fishes” (from the Abstract). |
