Improving Southwestern Riparian Areas Through Watershed Management
This paper reviews opportunities and watershed restoration tech niques available for rehabilitating and enhancing riparian ecosystems in southwest environments. As such, it is intended to serve as a state of-the-art report on riparian hydrology and improvement in both naturally occurring and man-made riparian areas throughout the
متن کاملEvaluating the quality of riparian forest vegetation: the Riparian Forest Evaluation (RFV) index
Aim of study: This paper presents a novel index, the Riparian Forest Evaluation (RFV) index, for assessing the ecological condition of riparian forests. The status of riparian ecosystems has global importance due to the ecological and social benefits and services they provide. The initiation of the European Water Framework Directive (2000/60/CE) requires the assessment of the hydromorphological...
متن کاملIn-stream uptake dampens effects of major forest disturbance on watershed nitrogen export.
Between January 4 and 10, 1998, a severe ice storm impacted large areas of northern New York, New England, and eastern Canada. This storm struck the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire on January 7-8, 1998, and caused extensive forest crown damage (>30%) in a narrow elevation band (600-740 m) across the south-facing experimental watersheds. Stream water has been collected and che...
متن کاملAssessing log extraction related soil disturbance and solutions to protect soil and reduce disturbance of forest ecosystem.
Skid trails are the main routes for wood extraction and also the main source of runoff and sediment production in Forests. This research was conducted in Kuhmiyan forest of Golestan Province to determine infiltration, compaction, strength (resistance to penetration) and moisture content in three treatment including control (in the forest), wheel ruts and middle of skid trail were measured in th...
متن کاملForest owner incentives to protect riparian habitat
Private landowners increasingly are asked to cooperate with landscape-level management to protect or enhance ecological resources. We examine the willingness of nonindustrial private forest owners in the Pacific Northwest (USA) to forego harvesting within riparian areas to improve riparian habitat. An empirical model is developed describing owners’ willingness to accept an economic incentive to...
