Riparian community and bank response to management

"In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Wayne Elmore...and others under his direction conducted a qualitative and quantitative survey of the in-stream habitat, riparian vegetation, bank conditions, water quality, macro-invertebrates and animals present (pellet counts) in over 400 miles of stream. All streams are contained within and managed by the Prineville District of the Bureau of Land Management. For this project, only 15 miles of stream were reevaluated, with only the riparian vegetation and bank damage portions of the survey repeated. The streams re-surveyed were- four sections of Bear Creek, and one section each on Camp, Paulina, Indian, Roba, Bronco, Beaverdarn [sic] and Heisler Creeks"--Page 1.
