Guidelines and protocols for monitoring riparian forest restoration projects
This handbook offers guidelines and protocols for monitoring riparian restoration projects. Protocols are derived from the synthesis of a broad range of existing literature on the assessment of riparian fuels, vegetation, and wildlife habitat into a methodology that is efficient, objective, and appropriate for quantitative summaries. These guidelines are also informed by the experiences of the staff of the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute and its partners and stakeholders. Additional resources are also suggested for measuring variables such as hydrology, water quality, and aquatic habitat. While recent work has focused on the development of socioeconomic indicators for restoration projects (Egan and Estrada-Bustillo 2011), the focus of this handbook is the monitoring of ecological dimensions of riparian restoration. In addition, rather than creating new monitoring protocols, this document combines existing protocols to provide guidance for monitoring riparian projects within, but not limited to, New Mexico’s Collaborative Forest Restoration Program (CFRP). Indeed, monitoring is an activity that is increasingly used to evaluate the function of riparian systems, allowing landowners and resource managers to make informed decisions. The guidance presented here is likely to evolve over time as research progresses
