Riparian Habitat Management for Mammals on Corps of Engineers Projects

Abstract

This technical note is a product of the Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP) work unit titled "Improved Methods for Ecosystem-based Habitat Management at Corps Projects." The objective of the project is to provide appropriate technology on managing wildlife species and their habitats using ecosystem-based strategies. The emphasis is on methods that improve natural resources for a variety of animals rather than single species. This note provides an overview of the importance of riparian ecosystems to mammals, discusses regional variation in mammal communities characteristic of riparian zones, identifies potential impacts of riparian disturbance to mammals, and outlines techniques for restoring and managing riparian habitats for various species.
