Author: Institute for Natural Resources, Behan, Jeff This annotated bibliography was prepared for the Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group. This group was formed by the Oregon Department of Forestry to review and evaluate the Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy as directed by the 2003 Oregon Legislature. The Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy is a component of management plans developed by the Oregon Department of Forestry, for the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests in northwestern Oregon. The references in this bibliography are grouped according to the categories of questions raised by the Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group.

• 2. [Article] A pilot test of systematic review techniques: evaluating whether wood placements in streams of the Pacific northwest affect salmon abundance, growth, survival, or habitat complexity

  A systematic review of evidence was conducted concerning the effects of large wood placement on salmonids. In contrast to a general literature review, a narrowly focused question was targeted. The question ...

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A pilot test of systematic review techniques: evaluating whether wood placements in streams of the Pacific northwest affect salmon abundance, growth, survival, or habitat complexity Author: Behan, Jeff, Giannico, Guillermo R., Burnett, Kelly M., Institute for Natural Resources A systematic review of evidence was conducted concerning the effects of large wood placement on salmonids. In contrast to a general literature review, a narrowly focused question was targeted. The question was formulated before the review commenced and specified the subject, treatment, and outcomes of interest. The primary review question was “Does instream wood placement affect salmonid abundance, growth, survival or habitat complexity?” Publications were found with a comprehensive, documented literature search and were selected for review based on explicit inclusion criteria. Two science reviewers evaluated the selected set of publications. The reviewers considered specific criteria to assess how relevant each publication was to the primary review question. Details for each publication considered in reviewing its relevancy, including factors that might have affected study conclusions, are reported. The overall strength of reviewed evidence is summarized in a narrative synthesis. Gaps in research are highlighted. Insights are provided into the process, feasibility, and utility of systematic reviews for assessing and synthesizing the science available to support forest management decisions and policymaking.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Salmon anchor habitats in northwest Oregon state forests : a review of the policy-making process. Author: Behan, Jeff, Institute for Natural Resources The purpose of this document is to provide the SAH Workgroup with a summary of SAH strategy development and identify issues that have arisen so that all work group members have a common understanding of the context for their work. The second section discusses the background of state forests. Salmonid protection and restoration strategies and policies are summarized in the third section. In the fourth section Northwest Oregon forest planning relating to salmonids is reviewed. Stakeholder positions and concerns regarding the SAH strategy are discussed in the fifth section. A brief conclusion follows. Title: Salmon anchor habitats in northwest Oregon state forests : a review of the policy-making process.
