Mitigate changes to hydrologic regime in order to retain species composition and ecosystem function

Approach

Tactics

Inventory monitoring to understand the changes underway.
Create native seed bank for this system.
Create side channels into floodplains and conduct stream restoration.

Sensitivity

• Reduced snowpack/ reduced summer precipitation/ and changing groundwater recharge and discharge will result in shifting plant species composition and reduced habitat quality in riparian areas/ groundwater-dependent ecosystems/ wetlands/ and wet meadows.

Strategy

Sustain fundamental physical and ecological functions
