Project: Riparian Forest Simulation Modeling

Modeling the potential availability of large woody debris (LWD) and shade or solar blocking for natural and managed riparian forests. Current versions of the working papers and presentations for this work may be found by following the links below.

• A simulation model to estimate the potential availability of LWD (ALWD) and functional LWD (AFLWD) for differing stream sizes for riparian forests represented by tree lists. (PDF)
• A simulation model for multi-zone managed riparian buffers that incorporates the ALWD model. (PDF)
• A presentation demonstrating the multi-zone managed buffer simulations that includes a prototype of a shade/solar blocking submodel. (PDF)
