Activity 2.3.1 Ranchers, Anglers, and Beavers
1. Exploratory The research evidence supported the use of the grazing management and beavers for riparian restoration. The Beavers would create the dams, which would then cause the groundwater to elevate, which promotes the vegetation recovery, giving the plants time to regenerate. The recovery would improve the quality of the water, which then, in return, causes less erosion and supports biodiversity. So basically, the beavers enhance the health of the riparian health by helping the wetland form.( Fesenmyer ) 2. Diagnostic The reason that this occurs is that the grazing is impacting the riparian zones because it reduces the vegetation cover. this causes more erosion and degradation of the habitats. by the beavers building the dams, they are able to mitigate the drought effects, which allows the animal species to recover.( Fesenmyer) 3. Cause and Effect If it is implemented to control the grazing and beaver activity, the affected zones would then see an increase in the vege...
