摘要

Eighty-two stream reaches were sampled throughout the Monongahela National Forest during the summer 1996 and winter of 1996-1997 to quantify fine sediment levels (< 4 mm diameter material) in trout spawning gravels, examine seasonal differences in fine sediment, and determine if fine sediment levels differ among land type association (LTA), streambed slope classes and soil erosion potentials. Six shovel samples per stream reach were collected. Summer fine sediment levels (x =15.8%) were significantly greater than winter levels (x = 13.3%), meaning summer values cannot be used directly as measures of winter conditions. However, the lower winter values indicate conditions during spawning and egg development were actually better than summer data would have suggested. Fine sediment did not vary significantly among slope or erosion potential classes, but it did vary significantly among LTAs. Groupings of LTAs were identified which had low-, mid- and high-range fine sediment levels. Two of the three LTAs with highest sediment levels are high elevation areas with red spruce (Picea rubens) that have recovered poorly since 1890-1920 logging and/or subsequent heavy fires. Many streams in these two LTAs are acidic and have low nutrients, which also limit spawning and general fisheries success. Geology, specifically resistant sandstone, is believed to be a dominant factor in limiting sediment availability in LTAs with the lowest fine sediment levels.
