This assessment analyzes the projected changes in coastal Coho salmon populations and stream ecosystems in the Willamette River Basin from 1850 to 2050. It includes various conservation scenarios and examines the impact of different stream types on fish richness and abundance. Utilizing models of ecosystem structure and function, the study highlights significant patterns of change in fish populations, such as cutthroat trout and EPT richness, across tributary junctions and channel types over the next 50 years, informing conservation management strategies.
