George W Tanner, and Sandra Braasch, Riparian Zone Inventory: .
Summary
Riparian zone management is receiving increased attention on all rangelands. These areas are important for protecting stream habitat and maintaining water quality. The riparian zones are important livestock grazing areas because of accessibility to succulent forage, gentle topography, availability of water, and generally abundant shade which provides temperature relief. Lack of stream-side vegetation exposes banks to erosion from rain or running surface water. Published in Rangelands, volume 11, issue 3, on pages 103 - 106, in 1989.
