Book Synopsis Riparian Areas by : National Research Council
Download or read book Riparian Areas written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 449 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Large Wood in Northeastern United States Streams: Spatial and Temporal Dynamics and the Influence of Wood on Stream Nutrient Cycling by : Dana Richard Warren
Download or read book Large Wood in Northeastern United States Streams: Spatial and Temporal Dynamics and the Influence of Wood on Stream Nutrient Cycling written by Dana Richard Warren and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood can be an important structural component of forested stream ecosystems. My dissertation evaluated the influence and dynamics of large wood (> 10 cm diameter and> 1 m length) and accumulations of wood (debris dams) in streams of the northeastern United States (US). I conducted two studies relating the amount of in-stream wood to stream nutrient dynamics. To quantify how wood loading to streams in this region is likely to change in the future, I conducted a survey of 28 streams across the northeastern US. In addition, I quantified large wood transport over four years in a second-order stream in the Adirondack Mountains, NY.
Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book A guide to forest–water management written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people worldwide lack adequate access to clean water to meet basic needs, and many important economic activities, such as energy production and agriculture, also require water. Climate change is likely to aggravate water stress. As temperatures rise, ecosystems and the human, plant, and animal communities that depend on them will need more water to maintain their health and to thrive. Forests and trees are integral to the global water cycle and therefore vital for water security – they regulate water quantity, quality, and timing and provide protective functions against (for example) soil and coastal erosion, flooding, and avalanches. Forested watersheds provide 75 percent of our freshwater, delivering water to over half the world’s population. The purpose of A Guide to Forest–Water Management is to improve the global information base on the protective functions of forests for soil and water. It reviews emerging techniques and methodologies, provides guidance and recommendations on how to manage forests for their water ecosystem services, and offers insights into the business and economic cases for managing forests for water ecosystem services. Intact native forests and well-managed planted forests can be a relatively cheap approach to water management while generating multiple co-benefits. Water security is a significant global challenge, but this paper argues that water-centered forests can provide nature-based solutions to ensuring global water resilience.

Book Synopsis Influence of Large Wood on Channel Morphology and Sediment Storage in Two Headwater Mountain Streams, Fraser Experimental Forest, Colorado by : Erica Lyn Bishop
Download or read book Influence of Large Wood on Channel Morphology and Sediment Storage in Two Headwater Mountain Streams, Fraser Experimental Forest, Colorado written by Erica Lyn Bishop and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite ongoing research on many aspects of stream morphology and large wood effects on mountain stream channels, there have been no studies that quantify these variables in non-fish-bearing, extreme headwater streams. A recent outbreak of Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) has led to increased Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) mortality in the Western North America This outbreak is expected to increase input of large wood to streams in the next decade. Increased understanding of large wood and sediment interactions in small mountain streams could have broad implications in river restoration and habitat research. This study explores an area of less intensive mountain stream research by quantifying hydrologic and morphologic characteristics and large wood channel interactions in two low-order streams (Deadhorse and Lexen creeks) on the Fraser Experimental Forest, Colorado. The influence that large wood has on the study streams was observed during field investigations of hundreds of log steps, and large wood pieces forming bed, banks, and also acting as an erosional agent in the streams. In contrast to studies of larger systems, the lack of patterns and expected relationships between large wood, channel morphology and sediment storage and transport among the study streams illustrate the extent to which they may be highly influenced by local conditions, including widely variable large wood volumes and channel and valley characteristics, such as slope and valley width, between the reaches. The findings of this research show that results of prior studies in mountain streams and their subsequent generalizations regarding expected channel dynamics, large wood, and sediment characteristics may not be applicable to streams of this size and flow regime.
