Abstract:

This guidebook is for use by a team of individuals who adapt information in it to riverine wetlands in specific physiographic regions. By adapting from the generalities of the riverine class to specific regional riverine subclasses, such as high-gradient streams of the glaciated northeastern United States, the procedure can be made responsive to the specific conditions found there. For example, separation of high-gradient from low-gradient streams may be necessary to reduce the amount of variation in indicators to make the assessment more sensitive to detecting impacts.
