Exercise 14

Suppose you are a river manager and you need to operate the dams on your river in a way that fosters riparian tree growth. However, assume that the dominant trees along the river that you manage are not cottonwoods. In order to apply Mahoney and Rood's recruitment box model, what information do you need to know about your river and the riparian tree species you intend to manage? How would you go about gathering this information?
