Lower Columbia Complex Land use in the Lower Columbia complex (Germany, Mill, and Abernathy) is primarily commercial forestry. These watersheds provide the best opportunity to assess the effectiveness of restoration treatments and commercial forest management on increasing salmon production. Lack of large wood in the channels, reduction in off-channel habitat and alterations in sediment delivery and transport are factors likely influencing salmon production in these watersheds.
