Contents Notes
"The Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service, working with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, have established a method for evaluating the condition of riparian wetland areas. The method involves assessing whether an area is in proper functioning condition. This qualitative, yet science-based process considers both abiotic and biotic factors as they relate to physical function. It facilitates communication about the condition of a riparian-wetland area and focuses attention on the physical process before considering values. A standard checklist is used to ensure consistency in reporting the condition of riparian-wetland areas. Occasionally, items on the checklist will have to be quantified to determine how they should be answered, and numerous methods of quantification are provided."--Report documentation page.
