Grazing
Riparian Areas - General Principles
for Grazing Livestock in Riparian Areas
6. Ensure
adequate residual vegetative cover.
How much and
what type of vegetation exists on a site determines how well the
riparian area performs its functions. What constitutes "adequate"
depends on the
location of the riparian pasture and the situation, but should be
determined with likely spring runoff conditions in mind. In many
situations, projections of residual vegetation must include probable
wildlife use after livestock are removed.
