For plants to remain vigorous and productive, they must have time for growth, seed development, and storage of carbohydrates. ⢠Be prepared to play an active role in managing riparian areas. Success in maintaining or enhancing riparian health is depen- dent more on the degree of operator involvement than on what grazing system is employed. For a system to be effective, the land manager must be willing to monitor the effects ot the system and to respond accordingly by making management adjustments where needed. Streambank stability is an important concern in riparian areas. Stremnbunk stubility ..s an .mportu,.. .m â, ,,;.,â,c,n ureas. When banks erode, productive land is lost, sediment can be contributed to the stream, damage from high flows is more severe, and less water is re- tained along the banks and in the ground. Areas of high concern are banks that are actively eroding or that have high erosion potential, riparian habitat for sensitive fish or plant species, and riparian areas in poor tunctioning Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harmon, Will; Montana.
