La regionalización implica la división de un territorio en áreas menores con características comunes y representa una herramienta metodológica básica en la planeación ambiental, pues permite el conocimiento de los recursos para su manejo adecuado. La importancia de regionalizaciones de tipo ambiental estriba en que se consideran análisis basados en ecosistemas, cuyo objetivo principal es incluir toda la heterogeneidad ecológica que prevalece dentro de un determinado espacio geográfico para, así, proteger hábitats y áreas con funciones ecológicas vitales para la biodiversidad, las cuales no hubiesen sido consideradas con otro tipo de análisis. En México han habido diferentes experiencias al respecto, dentro de las...

Topock Marsh is a large wetland adjacent to the Colorado River and main feature of Havasu National Wildlife Refuge (Havasu NWR) in southern Arizona. In 2010, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and Bureau of Reclamation began a project to improve water management capabilities at Topock Marsh and protect habitats and species. Initial construction required a drawdown, which caused below-average inflows and water depths in 2010-2011. Co-applicants Daniels and Haegele of FORT monitored Topock Marsh during the drawdown and immediately after, thus obtained information on immediate effects. However, stress from the drawdown may have a delayed effect on aquatic resources; additionally, significant changes to the infrastructure...

Abstract: Topock Marsh is a large wetland adjacent to the Colorado River and the main feature of Havasu National Wildlife Refuge (Havasu NWR) in southern Arizona. In 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and Bureau of Reclamation began a project to improve water management capabilities at Topock Marsh and protect habitats and species. Initial construction required a drawdown, which caused below-average inflows and water depths in 2010–11. U.S. Geological Survey Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) scientists collected an assemblage of biotic, abiotic, and hydrologic data from Topock Marsh during the drawdown and immediately after, thus obtaining valuable information needed by FWS. Building upon that work,...
