Shifts in the structure and composition of riparian vegetation in response to sediment aggradation on the lower San Juan River
Shifts in the structure and composition of riparian vegetation in response to sediment aggradation on the lower San Juan River. Research Permit and Reporting System
Riparian vegetation has adapted over time to survive in the ever-changing ecotone separating the drier upland from the purely aquatic realms. These areas are highly sensitive to the variations in the hydrologic cycle caused by the construction of dams. The San Juan River, offers a unique opportunity to observe the effects of dams on riparian ecosystems located between Navajo Dam upstream in Northern New Mexico, and the waters of Lake Powell downstream.
