Little Topashaw Creek - Monitoring - Density of wood
headline bar
The specific gravity of instream large wood was determined by collecting 89 samples of naturally-occurring debris prior to construction. Samples were weighed and volumes were determined by measuring the volume of water displaced by submerging each sample. Specific gravities were determined for in-situconditions, after soaking in water for ten days, and after drying in an oven at 50 degrees Celsius for ten days.
