Abstract
The United States has been in a continuous drought since 2002. Stream quality, specifically in the context of fish habitat, depends on many variables, including vegetation quality. Drought conditions affect vegetation conditions, however it is unclear how drought conditions impact stream habitat quality for fish. Objectives for my project include:
- How does stream habitat quality relate to drought across National Forests of the Northwestern US?
- Has drought increased impacts on riparian vegetation over the past 20 years?
