Wyoming Creek (YL Prl90) Ecoregion: Pryor/Bighorn Mountain Foothills Aquatic Ecological System Type: DOOly-Forested Headwater Stream Key Environmental Factors: Riparian Grazing & Cattle Use—moderate impacts, near stream pocking. Some sediment loading from riparian trampling or upstream beaver Rare or Unique Species: No SOC species, but a unique species to this assessment, the caddisfly, Rhyacophila oreta. Rare Features: No rare features documented Introduced/Exotic Aquatic Species: None collected. Overall Ecological Site Condition: Fair trending to Good with proper grazing management. Reach Riparian Ranking: BLM= 18 (75%) Reach Functional At Risk Riparian Condition (FAR) Geomorphology: Rosgen B4. Surrounding bank materials are finer than the channel bed materials, gravel to pebble dominated substrate, with embedded cobbles and some LWD derived from a beaver upstream? (beaver chewed sticks). Cobbles have a dense moss growing on them increasing the microhabitat diversity. Macroinvertebrate Community: A fairly diverse community of 37 taxa, including 8 cold-water obligate taxa, despite some obvious sediment loading issues and embedded cobbles. Also contains taxa indicative of a Wyoming Basin Spring indicating obvious spring discharge influence in the drainage. Macroinvertebrate Community Quality: MMI= 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 Stagliano, David M; Montana Natural Heritage Program; United States.
