Abstract

Management impacts on a watershed can cause a variety of complex responses by the encompassed riparian-stream system. Information about these responses will help land managers select practices that provide the riparian area with the best chance for future health and stability. Since we now recognize that people have been impacting riparian areas for a long time through their actions on the surrounding watersheds, it is appropriate that we apply our knowledge of history to guide our actions in the direction of stabilized watersheds and healthy riparian areas.
