A Quantitative Geomorphic Approach to Predicting Productivity of Pink and Chum Salmon Streams in Southeast Alaska (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
From A Quantitative Geomorphic Approach to Predicting Productivity of Pink and Chum Salmon Streams in Southeast Alaska, discover how measurable landscape features help predict salmon production.
This book shows how simple measurements from maps and aerial photos can reveal which streams are likely to produce the most pink and chum salmon. It describes a practical method that links watershed shape, channel features, and basin stability to fish production, using a data set of 78 Southeast Alaska watersheds.
- Learn which geomorphic variables matter for predicting production
- See how a discriminant function classifies streams as very good or very poor producers
- Understand how managers can use this tool to guide protection and enhancement decisions
- Explore how researchers select streams for deeper analysis without costly fieldwork

A Quantitative Geomorphic Approach to Predicting Productivity of Pink and Chum
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a practical approach to predicting the productivity of pink and chum salmon streams in southeast Alaska using geomorphic variables. The author developed a discriminant model using 21 quantitative geomorphic variables measured from aerial photographs and topographic and geologic maps of 78 watersheds. Of these, eight variables were found to be significant in differentiating between good and poor producers of pink and chum salmon, including drainage area, mean valley side slope, avalanche index, drainage density, stream gradient, stream length with acceptable spawning gradient, and the presence of lakes in the stream system. The model provides a qualitative estimate of potential salmon production for any southeast Alaska stream, aiding in land management decisions and research on factors affecting salmon productivity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
