Altered Ecological Flows Blur Boundaries in Urbanizing Watersheds
The relevance of the boundary concept to ecological processes has been recently questioned. Humans in the post-industrial era have created novel lateral transport fluxes that have not been sufficiently considered in watershed studies. We describe patterns of land-use change within the Potomac River basin and demonstrate how these changes have blurred traditional ecosystem boundaries by increasi...

متن کاملPotential for Hybrid Poplar Riparian Buffers to Provide Ecosystem Services in Three Watersheds with Contrasting Agricultural Land Use
In temperate agricultural watersheds, the rehabilitation of tree vegetation in degraded riparian zones can provide many ecosystem services. This study evaluated ecosystem service provision potential following the conversion of non-managed herbaceous buffers to hybrid poplar (Populus spp.) buffers in three watersheds (555–771 km2) of southern Québec (Canada), with contrasting agricultural land u...
متن کاملContext for the Riparian Forest Restoration Strategy
With the creation of the 1997 Habitat Conservation Plan, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR, or Department) has charted a new course for forest management of 1.45 million acres of forested state trust land covered by the riparian conservation strategy. The Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) agreement, signed with the Federal Services (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Nati...
متن کاملSpatial interactions among ecosystem services in an urbanizing agricultural watershed.
Understanding spatial distributions, synergies, and tradeoffs of multiple ecosystem services (benefits people derive from ecosystems) remains challenging. We analyzed the supply of 10 ecosystem services for 2006 across a large urbanizing agricultural watershed in the Upper Midwest of the United States, and asked the following: (i) Where are areas of high and low supply of individual ecosystem s...
