Description

Abstract: The ODF watershed analysis process was designed to focus on functions and processes that influence aquatic and riparian habitat conditions on State Forest lands. The watershed analysis process is consistent with strategies identified in the FMP and includes consideration of natural disturbances that have helped to define the existing aquatic ecosystem. Under the FMP, aquatic and riparian strategies call for managing for "properly functioning" aquatic systems that are inherently dynamic and include a range of natural variability over space and time. The goal of the FMP strategy is to maintain or restore proper function in aquatic and riparian habitats such that they are capable of supporting native species. Correspondingly, the primary objectives of the watershed analysis were to identify where properly functioning habitat existed, where properly functioning habitat was lacking, and what management changes could be implemented to protect or as necessary, restore proper function to those habitats.
