Summary
This project will focus on integrating existing riverine/riparian landscape analyses to support decision making by the Arid Lands Initiative and associated partners in the Columbia Basin Partner Forum. This synthesis will produce a map of priority areas for the riparian and riverine landscape, and will include a stressors and threats analysis, with an assessment of resiliency to climate change. We will also complete the first phase of a multi-year project to develop an ecological systems classification for riverine1 systems in the Columbia Basin.
