PERCENT FOREST ADJACENT TO STREAMS (FUTURE)
Description:
The type of vegetation along a stream influences the water quality in the stream. Intact buffer strips of natural vegetation along streams tend to intercept pollutants before they reach the stream. Forest cover along streams (RIPFOR) is the percent of total stream length adjacent to forest. High values tend to indicate better water quality.
