Download or read book Riparian Ecosystem Recovery in Arid Lands written by Mark K. Briggs and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riparian ecosystems are declining throughout the southwestern United States, where many have disappeared completely; yet progress toward checking their decline has been marginal, and the results of only a few recovery projects have been evaluated. In this guidebook, Mark K. Briggs has filled this gap in riparian conservation literature. Based on his experiences gleaned from evaluating the results of many riparian rehabilitation projects, Briggs presents these results in a manner that biologists, hydrologists, government planners, resource managers, and other concerned citizens can immediately apply toward developing site-specific recovery strategies. The book opens with a review of watershed characteristics and an examination of drainage systems, then proceeds to determining the causes of riparian decline. It introduces five factors that have a significant effect on the results of riparian rehabilitation--natural regeneration, water availability, channel stability, direct impacts such as livestock grazing and recreational activities, and soil salinity--and offers case studies that demonstrate how revegetation has been used both effectively and ineffectively. It also discusses strategies other than revegetation that may be effective in improving the ecological condition of a site. Many of the strategies presented are also relevant to nonarid climates and to urban areas. By emphasizing evaluation of riparian ecosystems, so that the causes of degradation can be understood, and by offering general approaches that can be tailored to specific situations, Riparian Ecosystem Recovery in Arid Lands takes a holistic approach to riparian recovery that will enable users to better judge whether recovery expenditures are likely to produce desired results. An unprecedented work, it will substantially add to efforts across the Southwest and elsewhere to restore these unique and priceless ecosystems.

Book excerpt: Riparian habitats are characterized by outstanding species richness and population densities of both plants andanimals. Increasing recreational pressures on these ecotones between water and surrounding uplands are forcing management agencies to re-analyze consumptive versus non-consumptive resource allocations. This report tackles issues such as grazing, irrigation, watershed and vegetation management, urbanization, flood control, and off-road vehicles, and discusses effects on soils, vegetation, wildlife, water and air quality.

Book excerpt: A team of regional water scientists and experts has produced one of the Partnership's most important educational tools, the Water-Resources Primer. The Primer is an illustrated "text book" that synthesizes the water-resource science pertinent to understanding the Verde River system. The purpose of the Primer is to provide well-explained, documented source material for interested citizens, decision makers, educators, and presenters of water-resource information. The Primer's goal is to present scientific background for understanding various water issues. The Verde River Basin Water-Resources Primer gives overviews of foundational topics such as the global water cycle and the basics of hydrology. It explores the specific hydrology and hydrogeology within the Verde River Basin, focusing on the Upper and Middle Verde River Watersheds. It explains groundwater pumping and its effect on groundwater and streamflow in these watersheds. Additionally, the Primer offers an overview of the riparian and aquatic habitat of the Verde River ecosystem. The Primer concludes with projections of the Verde River's future flow, forecasted by the most recent models and scientific studies.

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.
