Monitoring the Vegetation Resources in Riparian Areas by Rose Hessmiller, last updated: Aug 16, 2011 02:04 PM: 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

Rapid Watershed Assessments by NRCS by Kerri Mich, last updated: Oct 25, 2011 05:17 PM: These Rapid Watershed Assessments were assembled by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of NM. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is encouraging the development of rapid watershed assessments in order to increase the speed and efficiency generating information to guide conservation implementation, as well as the speed and efficiency of putting it into the hands of local decision makers. Background Information Rapid watershed assessments provide initial estimates of where conservation investments would best address the concerns of landowners, conservation districts, and other community organizations and stakeholders. These assessments help land-owners and local leaders set priorities and determine the best actions to achieve their goals. These assessments are conducted by watershed planning teams traveling through each watershed, meeting with landowners and conservation groups, inventorying agricultural areas, identifying conservation opportunities and current levels of resource management, and estimating impacts of these opportunities on the local priority resource concerns. Benefits of These Activities While these rapid assessments provide less detail and analysis than full-blown studies and plans, they do provide the benefits of NRCS locally-led planning in less time and at a reduced cost. The benefits include: Quick and inexpensive plans for setting priorities and taking action Providing a level of detail that is sufficient for identifying actions that can be taken with no further watershed-level studies or analyses Actions to be taken may require further Federal or State permits or ESA or NEPA analysis but these activities are part of standard requirements for use of best management practices (BMPs) and conservation systems Identifying where further detailed analyses or watershed studies are needed Plans address multiple objectives and concerns of landowners and communities Plans are based on established partnerships at the local and state levels Plans enable landowners and communities to decide on the best mix of NRCS programs that will meet their goals Plans include the full array of conservation program tools (i.e. cost-share practices, easements, technical assistance) http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/rwa/ These are not final and may be changed and edited in the future. If you have any questions, please call/email Kerri Mich, GIS Specialist, NRCS 505-761-4437 kerri.mich@nm.usda.gov
