Large Woody Debris - This method explains how to count pieces of large woody debris in waded streams for the Status and Trends Program when traversing the length of the stream site. Observations are limited to the main channel. This method applies to streams of Western Washington (west of the Cascade ridge), where natural conditions are expected to include larger sizes of wood.

BIOHabitatMetric045

Compares diversity by accounting for both richness and evenness of the sample. Generally this metric scores between 0 and 4.5. A higher score represents higher diversity. It is not used to compare sites, however since it is affected by changes in both the number of taxa and the relative abundance of those taxa.
