Integrating process‐based flow and temperature models to assess riparian forests and temperature amelioration in salmon streams
Abstract The importance of riparian tree cover in reducing energy inputs to streams is increasingly recognized in schemes to mitigate climate change effects and protect freshwater ecosystems.
