Zusammenfassung:Protocols for mapping and characterizing land-use/land-cover (LULC) features in the riparian zone are presented in this report. Characterization of riparian systems is critical to a comprehensive understanding of nutrient enrichment effects on stream ecosystems because riparian functions provide an important ecological connection between surrounding land use activities and nutrient dynamics in small-to-medium-sized steams.
