Aprašymas

Riparian-wetland areas comprise a small portion of the total land base, yet they are some of the most productive and important ecosystems found in the United States. Riparian-wetland areas have vegetative or physical attributes reflective of water influence. Marshes, wet meadows, shallow swamps, estuaries, and lands adjacent to rivers, streams, and lakes are typical riparian-wetland areas. Characteristically, riparian-wetland areas have a greater diversity of plant and wildlife species and vegetation structure than adjoining ecosystems. Wildlife use riparian-wetland areas disproportionately more than any other type of habitat. Riparian-wetland areas are also important for their economic values and for diverse uses such as livestock production and recreation.
