Riparian Conversion Monitoring Data Collection Protocols

Abstract

This fact sheet introduces riparian conversion monitoring. As more and more riparian habitat restoration projects are developed, there is an increased need to monitor the effectiveness of these projects. Therefore, standardized data collection protocols are needed. The Riparian Zone Restoration Project (RZRP) protocols were developed to meet this need, and to serve as an example of how these materials can be constructed. Please see the associated protocol key and abbreviations, and an example of a plot card.
