	note = {"This report describes a pilot effort at classifying PNW estuaries with regards to landscape attributes and their susceptibility to nutrient enrichment."  Much data is presented. Although the report focuses on seven estuaries (Alsea, Coos Bay, Nestucca, Salmon River, Tillamook Bay, Umpqua and Yaquina), many other estuaries are mentioned, and basic statistical data is given for all PNW estuaries.  The Yachats River is classified as a "tidal creek.""...an ongoing study of the Yachats River indicates that the formation of a sill near the mouth restricts exchange with the ocean to the spring high tides, essentially acting as a micro-fjord (C. Brown, unpublished data). This oceanic water advected during spring tides can form localized pockets of deeper, saline waters below a freshwater surface layer. With no or minimal exchange or turnover, the dissolved oxygen in these saline pockets declines until the next spring tide or storm." (p.44)},

	title = {The Geomorphic Significance of Log Steps in Forest Streams of the Oregon Coast Range},
	year = {1980},
	note = {Doctoral dissertation. {\textquotedblleft}A log step develops when large woody debris extends across the active channel, creating a change in the water surface elevation as the stream spills over the log step. By forming a series of vertical falls, log steps reduce the amount of potential energy available for conversion to kinetic energy used for water and sediment routing. By trapping sediment supplied from upstream and adjacent hillslopes, log steps introduce an additional storage component into the sediment budget for forest streams.{\textquotedblright} The author examined 13 different coastal streams in four different land-types and developed a method for determining the impact of log steps on stream sediment budgets. Maps, color photographs. Although dating from 1980, this work could provide useful insights for those interested in the watersheds studied here, many of which are not well studied elsewhere.
