Abstract:To facilitate the movement and processing of timber in some regions of the Pacific Northwest, logs are tied together to form large rectangular rafts (often called “booms”) which are transported and stored in aquatic environments. In the lower Fraser River, British Columbia, some reaches have >50% of shoreline with adjacent log booms, yet our understanding of the effects of log booms on habitats and biota is very limited. We compared sites that have never had log booms to nearby ones with active boom storage… Show more
