- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines if it is possible for different hydrographic datasets to influence in-channel and streamside conditions which is necessary for aquatic resources conservation. The location of the study is in the 255, 000 hectares Siuslaw National Forest in the Coastal Province of Oregon. It analyzes and compares the differences among the three hydrographic datasets in terms of spatial extent, which covers catchment, fish distribution, and fish habitat, and spatial position, which deals with land cover and topographic characteristics. Results revealed that there were significant differences among the three datasets in terms spatial extent, but there was partial difference in terms of spatial position.
