Description
This book describes the underlying water conditions and geologies that support viable riparia, illustrates the ecological characteristics
of riparia, and discusses how riparia are used by human cultures as well as how riparia can be used to sustain environmental quality.
In recent years riparian management has been widely implemented as a means of improving fisheries, water quality, and habitat for endangered
species. This book provides the basic knowledge necessary to implement successful, long-term management and rehabilitation programs.
Audience
Advanced students and professional scientists and resource managers interested in river and stream ecology, riparian systems, freshwater
ecosystems and watershed ecology and management; government agencies such as the US Forest Service, EPA, Bureau of Land Management, and
state resource agencies.
