A Rapid Physical Habitat Assessment of Wadeable Streams for Mixed-Land-Use Watersheds
Mitigating stream and river impairment is complex, particularly in mixed-land-use watersheds given the likelihood of integrated responses of stream restoration to coupled and ongoing terrestrial ecosystem disturbance and the need for periodic reassessment and maintenance. Traditional biological sampling (e.g., macroinvertebrate sampling or other biological indices) alone seldom identifies the c...
متن کاملRelationships of fish assemblages, instream physical habitat, and landscape characteristics of wadeable Iowa streams
Fish assemblages play a key role in stream ecosystems, and play a crucial role in the assessment of stream health. Physical habitat is a key component of stream ecosystems and plays a major role in determining biotic assemblages and stream integrity. There is increasing recognition of the role landscape factors play in determining biotic assemblages and stream integrity. Landscapes in Iowa and ...
متن کاملPerformance comparison of land change modeling techniques for land use projection of arid watersheds
The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...
متن کاملHabitat assessment of non-wadeable rivers in Michigan.
Habitat evaluation of wadeable streams based on accepted protocols provides a rapid and widely used adjunct to biological assessment. However, little effort has been devoted to habitat evaluation in non-wadeable rivers, where it is likely that protocols will differ and field logistics will be more challenging. We developed and tested a non-wadeable habitat index (NWHI) for rivers of Michigan, w...
متن کاملIs Littoral Habitat Affected by Residential Development and Land Use in Watersheds of Wisconsin Lakes?
Jennings, M. J., E. E. Emmons, G. R. Hatzenbeler, C. Edwards and M. A. Bozek. 2001. Is littoral habitat affected by residential development and landuse in watersheds of Wisconsin lakes? Lake and Reserv. Manage. 19(3):272279. We measured differences in nearshore littoral zone habitat among lakes with different amounu; of residential development and different patterns of watershed land use. Sampl...
