Livestock grazing limits beaver restoration in northern New Mexico
Despite intensive efforts to reintroduce beavers into areas where they are severely reduced in numbers or eliminated due to over-harvesting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, beavers remain sparse or or missing from many stream reaches. In this study, beaver dams mostly occurred at sites that were not grazed or where there was some alternative grazing management, but were mostly absent at sites within Forest Service cattle allotments. Results indicated that cattle grazing influenced the relation between vegetation variables and beaver presence. We recommend that beaver restoration will require changes to current livestock management practices.

A Guide for Planning Riparian Treatments in New Mexico
A Guide for Planning Riparian Treatments in New Mexico has been developed as a guide for those conservationists who will be providing both planning, and design assistance in treating riparian areas. The guide recognizes that in New Mexico, some stream channels have incised to an extent where riparian areas are now upland sites.
Planning Riparian Restoration in the Context of Tamarix Control in Western North America
Throughout the world, the condition of many riparian ecosystems has declined due to numerous factors, including encroachment of non-native species.

It is the responsibility of each agency to determine that their actions do not jeopardized Threatened and Endangered species.
Riparian Restoration Connection
The Tamarisk Coalition, a non-profit alliance working to restore riparian lands, has launched a new website called the Riparian Restoration Connection. Its goal is to create a central hub for the riparian restoration community to exchange resources, share ideas, ask questions, and get the information needed to help facilitate riparian restoration efforts.
Texas Riparian Management Guide
Riparian areas are most simply defined as the transition or interface between comparatively drier upland areas and wetter areas. Riparian areas can exist along the margins of creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, wetlands and bays. This booklet will focus on the management of riparian areas that exist along creeks and rivers.

Monitoring the Vegetation Resources in Riparian Areas
Winward, Alma H. 2000. Monitoring the vegetation resources in riparian areas. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRSGTR- 47. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 49 p. This document provides information on three sampling methods used to inventory and monitor the vegetation resources in riparian areas. The vegetation cross-section method evaluates the health of vegetation across the valley floor. The greenline method provides a measurement of the streamside vegetation. The woody species regeneration method measures the density and age class structure of any shrub or tree species that may be present in the sampling area. Together these three sampling procedures can provide an evaluation of the health of all the vegetation in a given riparian area. Keywords: riparian sampling, vegetation cross-section, greenline, woody regeneration
