Presentation transcript:

Importance of low-flow and high- flow characteristics to restoration of riparian vegetation along rivers in arid south-western United States Stromberg et al., 2007, Overview of Riparian Vegetation Restoration in Western U.S.

Overview Rivers in the south west Low-flow vs. high-flow Riparian vegetation in the south west Restoration

Rivers in the South West

Climate Arid, low precipitation Flooding No-flow periods Varied ground water

Human Impact Heavily irrigated

Human Impact Damming

Compared to the North-west Far less recharge No focus on fish Rivers effect the plants and animals Riparian vegetation used as indicator

Low-flow vs. High-flow

Low-flow State of the rivers majority of the time Natural fluctuations Flow can be depleted by humans

High-flow Naturally occurs Wet periods Floods Can be sustained by human intervention

Riparian Vegetation

Indicator of Health Stream health correlates with vegetation Vegetation reflects stream health Analogues with fish in other reigons

Variation Low-flow Drought resistant Salt resistant Scrub/shrub Low biomass Low diversity High-Flow Pioneer Wetland species High biomass High diversity

Variation Both are natural Cant force high-flow Flooding=variation

Restoration

Patch diversity Encourage flooding Stay within natural limits Balance human interaction
