Beaver have been referred to as ecosystem engineers because of the large impacts their dam building activities have on the landscape; however, the benefits they may provide to fluvial fish species has been debated. We conducted a watershed-scale experiment to test how increasing beaver dam and col...
This avoids dam maintenance on powerful main channels and has little impact on their morphology, but enhances overbank sedimentation and floodplain wetlands. On larger Odell Creek, in Centennial Valley, Montana, active beaver dams are concentrated along middle reaches, where gradient and sediment ...
