TLDR
In this paper, the amount of sunlight reaching the stream may be increased after clear-cut logging in a small watershed in Oregon's coast range, where strips of brush and trees separated logging units from the stream, no changes in temperature were observed that could be attributed to clear-cutting.Abstract:
The principal source of energy for warming streams is the sun. The amount of sunlight reaching the stream may be increased after clear-cut logging. Average monthly maximum temperatures increased by 14°F and annual maximum temperatures increased from 57° to 85°F one year after clear-cut logging on a small watershed in Oregon's coast range. In a nearby watershed where strips of brush and trees separated logging units from the stream, no changes in temperature were observed that could be attributed to clear- cutting.read more

The thermal regime of rivers : a review
TL;DR: In this paper, different river thermal processes responsible for water temperature variability on both the temporal (e.g. diel, daily, seasonal) and spatial scales, as well as providing information related to different water temperature models currently found in the literature are reviewed.

Riparian vegetated buffer strips in water‐quality restoration and stream management
TL;DR: A review of the literature on riparian vegetated buffer strips (VBSs) for use in stream-water-quality restoration and limitations associated with their use are discussed in this article.

Recent advances in stream and river temperature research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the advances in understanding gained since 1990 and on investigations of fundamental controls on thermal behavior, thermal heterogeneity at different spatial scales, the influence of human impacts and the nature of past and future trends.

Urbanization and stream quality impairment
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted in the Piedmont province of Maryland to determine if a relationship exists between stream quality and the extent of watershed urbanization, finding that the relationship between degrees of urbanization and decline in stream quality was linear as watershed area increased.

Some Principles in the Thermal Requirements of Fishes
TL;DR: Lacking a means of maintaining an independent body temperature, the aquatic poikilotherm may be a victim of rapid internal temperature change caused by sudden changes in environmental temperature.

Temperature Tolerance in Young Pacific Salmon, Genus Oncorhynchus
TL;DR: A fanning-out of the opercula was shown to be directly correlated with the onset of death from a low temperature and mixed lethal effects at low temperatures were demonstrated and found to be influenced by the size of the fish and by the salinity of the water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an energy balance to predict hourly temperature changes of small streams in Oregon to within 1°F more than 90% of the time, using only three measurements.
