Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of this document are to provide a geographical overview of the Great Basin environment and to provide more resolute descriptions of the ecological features of riparian and stream habitats. The overview is focused on the environmental parameters that influence the distribution, magnitude, flux, and qualities of surface water. The distribution, structure, composition, and dynamics of riparian and stream habitats are interpreted as a response to geologic, hydrologic, geomorphic, pedogenic, and biotic processes. The values of stream and riparian habitats are considered to be a measure of the relative effectiveness of these same processes in determining the qualities of each site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established by the USDA Forest Service in 1993, the Great Basin Ecosystem Management Project for Restoring and Maintaining Sustainable Riparian Ecosystems is a large-scale research study that uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine the effects of climate change and human disturbance on riparian areas. Structured as a collaborative effort between management and research, the project focuses on understanding the geomorphic, hydrologic, and biotic processes that underlie riparian structure and function and the interrelated responses of those processes to disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic. Great Basin Riparian Ecosystems, edited by Jeanne C. Chambers and Jerry R. Miller, presents the approach used by the researchers to study and understand riparian areas in the Great Basin region. It summarizes the current state of knowledge about those areas and provides insights into the use of the information generated by the project for the restor-ation and management of riparian ecosystems. Because semi-arid ecosystems like the Great Basin are highly sensitive to climate change, the study considered how key processes are affected by past and present climate. Great Basin Riparian Ecosystems also examines the processes over a continuum of temporal and spatial scales. Great Basin Riparian Ecosystems addresses restoration over a variety of scales and integrates work from multiple disciplines, including riparian ecology, paleoecology, geomorphology, and hydrology. While the focus is on the Great Basin, the general approach is widely applicable, as it describes a promising new strategy for developing restoration and management plans, one based on sound principles derived from attention to natural systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for water resulting from massive population and economic growth in the southwestern U.S. overwhelmed traditional uses of riparian areas. As a consequence, many of these uniquely-structured ecosystems have been altered or destroyed. Within recent years people have become increasingly aware of the many uses and benefits of riparian zones a

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a multiscale approach for assessing the geomorphic sensitivity of streams and ecological resilience of riparian ecosystems, including meadows, in upland watersheds of the Great Basin to disturbances and management actions. Part I describes the key concepts needed to understand geomorphic sensitivity, ecological resilience, and ecological integrity. The watershed characteristics and components that influence sensitivity and resilience to disturbance are discussed, including the geomorphic characteristics of the stream channels and vegetation characteristics of the riparian ecosystems. A categorization of watershed sensitivity and resilience is provided to evaluate the past and likely future responses of the watersheds to disturbances and determine appropriate management strategies. Part II contains the information and protocols needed to categorize stream reaches and watersheds according to their relative sensitivity and resilience and evaluate their ecological integrity. The assessment involves collecting data on (1) watershed characteristics, (2) stream channel geomorphic and hydrologic characteristics, (3) riparian and meadow ecosystem vegetation characteristics, and (4) disturbance types and magnitudes. The assessments of watershed sensitivity and resilience are intended to provide the basis for prioritizing areas for conservation and restoration activities and determining the most effective strategies. The target audience is managers and stakeholders interested in assessing and adaptively managing Great Basin stream systems and riparian and meadow ecosystems.
