Ecosystem Management and Restoration. January 2003. Riparian Restoration and Management Needs in the Arid and Semi-Arid Western United States

Abstract

The is an information exchange bulletin of the Corps of Engineers. Its purpose is to disseminate research results on emerging problems addressed by the Corps' Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program. This bulletin concerns riparian restoration. The restoration and management of riparian zones has become a very popular and widespread practice in recent years (Briggs 1996). There has been a dramatic increase in the tools and techniques available to assist the restoration and management of these ecosystems (National Research Council 2002). As agencies, organizations, and private landowners with land management capabilities learn of the multitude of functions and values that riparian zones provide, and the relative ease of restoring some of these functions using the proper techniques, this interest will continue to grow.
