Document Summary
Streams, channel forms and the riparian landscape: function, hydrologic, nutrient spiraling, habitat, optimal level, low turbidity. Increased oxygen: coarse substrate, good riparian connectivity. The stream and its valley: a stream is only as healthy as the valley through which it flows , p, co2, substrate, benthic invertebrates determine how healthy the system is. million/km: easier to understand the importance of a river and its connection to a landscape and plan accordingly than having to repair it after its degradation. Will development impact or reduce its importance of the river system: have to consider all elements when designing a development. Change in river channels characteristics in a watershed *** exam *** Carbon cycling in rivers: pollution tolerant benthics, sensitive benthics very sensitive to changes in increases in sediment or decreases in oxygen if start to adjust what happens in river system affects the productivity in the river.
