Integrating Rangeland Health and Stream Stability in Assessments of Rangeland Watersheds
Rangeland Ecology and Management, 2021 Abstract Watersheds are distinct hydrologic units that comprise a range of terrestrial upland and riparian complex ecological sites. Since the hydrologic function of the entirety of the watershed is linked, other ecological functions and processes are also likely linked. No single assessment tool is available to describe the ecological status of both
