In boreal forest drainage networks, beaver (Castor canadensis) apparently influence the biogeochemical cycling of carbon by creating conditions for sediment accumulation in streams, providing anoxic conditions suitable for significant methanogenesis. To test this assumption we measured methane evasion rates in streams, ranging in size from first to sixth order, in the Matamek River drainage network, Quebec, Canada. Evasion rates varied between 0.04 and 4.41 g C (CH4)∙m−2∙year−1. There was no correlation between stream size or water temperature and evasion rate. However, methane evasion was 33-fold greater in beaver ponds than at other sites, representing 3.6% of the measured annual carbon output. In contrast, methane evasion accounted for only 0.05–0.5% of the annual carbon output from sites not modified by beaver.

The importance of large woody debris (LWD) in forested stream ecosystems is well documented. However, little is known about LWD in northern boreal forest streams. We investigated the abundance, characteristics, and function of LWD in 13 small tributary streams of the upper Yukon River basin, Yukon Territory, Canada. LWD abundance was similar to values reported from temperate regions, whereas LWD size and total volume were well below values for the Pacific Northwest. LWD formed 28% of the pools, which provide important habitat for juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Walbaum). The median diameter of pool-forming pieces was 17 cm, and ring counts on fallen riparian trees indicated that pool-forming pieces were likely 70–200 years old when downed. Juvenile chinook salmon density was correlated with LWD abundance in our study reaches. We conclude that despite differences in climate and forest type, LWD in Yukon streams and LWD in temperate regions appear to perform a similar function in creating fish habitat. Resource managers should consider the relatively slow tree growth and thus potentially long recovery times following human disturbances in these watersheds.
