Book excerpt: Scientists, land managers and policy makers discussed whether riparian (stream side) forest management and policy for state, federal and private lands in western Washington are consistent with current science. Answers were mixed: some aspects of riparian policy and management have a strong basis in current science, while other aspects may not. Participants agreed that the same body of science, originally synthesized by the Forest Ecosystem Management Team (FEMAT) report in 1993, underlies most current federal, state and private land policy and management of riparian areas. With some exceptions, that underlying science base has been supported by most recent research. However, some riparian forest policy and management in western Washington have been implemented in ways that may drive riparian areas toward static and uniform conditions over large areas, an outcome that may not be consistent with current science consensus. Current thinking in the scientific community is that sustaining high aquatic productivity at the scale of large landscapes or river basins probably depends on maintaining dynamic and heterogeneous riparian conditions driven by disturbance processes that operate over large spatial and temporal scales. Recognition of this inconsistency of policy and management with current science appeared to be new, especially for the management and policy communities. Participants suggested steps to address the identified science-policy gap, including analyses to identify specifically what policies are and are not consistent with current science and landscape-scale experiments to test the effectiveness of management alternatives that apply current science.

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 Riparian Research and Management  Past  Present  Future  Volume 1

Download or read book Riparian Research and Management Past Present Future Volume 1 written by U.S. Department of Agriculture and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, riparian habitats were not recognized for their extensive and critical contributions to wildlife and the ecosystem function of watersheds. This changed as riparian values were identified and documented, and the science of riparian ecology developed steadily. Papers in this volume range from the more mesic northwestern United States to the arid Southwest and Mexico. More than two dozen authors?most with decades of experience?review the origins of riparian science in the western United States, document what is currently known about riparian ecosystems, and project future needs. Topics are widespread and include: interactions with fire, climate change, and declining water; impacts from exotic species; unintended consequences of biological control; the role of small mammals; watershed response to beavers; watershed and riparian changes; changes below large dams; water birds of the Colorado River Delta; and terrestrial vertebrates of mesquite bosques.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Twelve presented and 15 contributed papers highlight what is known about this unique, diminishing vegetative type: characteristics, classification systems, associated fauna, use conflicts, management alternatives, and research needs. Speakers stressed the continuity and interrelationships of riparian ecosystems, their wildlife and vegetation, historic and current uses"--Abstract.
