Selected Key Elements of Forest Watershed Management: 1.Riparian Buffer Delineation and Management 2.Cumulative Effects Analysis 3.Watershed Analysis

Little Moose Outlet

Riparian Buffers Two Key Questions: 1. How wide and where? 2. What management inside the buffers is appropriate?

Cumulative Effectiveness 100% 0% Distance from Channel (Site Potential Tree Height) Root Strength Litter Fall Shading Coarse Woody Debris to Streams

RIPARIAN BUFFERS

Areas prone to small landslides and debris torrents

Cumulative Effects Analysis

Watershed Analysis Watershed analysis is a procedure used to characterize the human, aquatic, riparian, and terrestrial features, conditions, processes, and interactions within a watershed. It provides a systematic way to understand and organize ecosystem information. Watershed analysis enhances our ability to estimate direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of management activities and guide the general type, location, and sequence of appropriate management activities within a watershed

Federal Watershed Analysis Procedure Step 1.Characterize the watershed Step 2.Identify issues and key questions Step 3.Describe current conditions Step 4. Describe reference conditions Step 5.Synthesize and interpret results Step 6.Develop recommendations

Modules Erosion processes Hydrology Vegetation Stream channel Water quality Species and habitats (aquatic and terrestrial) Human uses

Watershed Analysis Products 1.A description of the watershed, including its natural and cultural features 2.A description of the beneficial uses and values 3.When supporting data allow, statements about compliance with water quality standards 4.A description of the distribution, type, and relative importance of environmental processes 5.A description of the watershed’s present condition relative to its associated values and uses 6.A map of possible riparian reserves or buffers
