Alteration of stream temperature by natural and artificial beaver dams
Fig 5
Distribution of daily stream temperature differences before and after beaver dam increase.
Gaussian distribution of the seasonal difference in daily stream temperatures between the control site with no beaver dams (Rkm 32.39), and sites where dam abundance increased dramatically during the study period. Difference are expressed for each season before (grey curve) and after (black line curve) increased dam abundance for minimum, mean, and max daily stream temperature.
