KRIS Garcia River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.
| Meta Identifier | sedMcBain |
| Type of Data | spawning gravel substrate composition and permeability |
| Originator | McBain and Trush |
| Description | The data represents substrate composition and permeability conditions of ten tributaries in the Garcia River Watershed. Relationships of substrate composition and permeability to salmonid survival to emergence are established using methods of Tappel and Bjornn (1983) and Tagart (1976) and McCuddin (1977). Data also asses sample size necessary within a single tributary to reduce variability in substrate composition and permeability data. Additionally, relationships (correlation) between substrate composition and permeability are assessed. |

| Purpose | The purpose of this study was to fulfill objectives proposed in the Watershed Assessment and Cooperative Instream Monitoring Plan for The Garcia River, Mendocino County, California (IMP), prepared by the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (MCRCD) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF). The objectives of this study included: (1) establish baseline substrate composition and permeability conditions for long-term trend monitoring in the Garcia River watershed; (2) assess the relationship (correlation) between substrate composition and permeability, and the general utility of these methods for assessing the condition of salmonid spawning substrates (in terms of the statistical precision of the results they generate, sample size needed to detect significant differences among different streams and over time, and their ability to predict salmonid survival to emergence). |
| Data Quality Information | excellent |
| Use Constraints | permeability should only be considered an index of gravel quality, and predictions of salmonid reproductive success are tentative. |
| Supplemental Information | Prepared for the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District. Permeability based salmonid egg survival to emergence estimates are based on Tagart (1976) and McCuddin (1977). |
| Keywords | gravel, substrate, permeability, salmonid survival |
