RM-GTR-272: Desired future conditions for Southwestern riparian
ecosystems: Bringing interests and concerns together
Shaw, Douglas W.; Finch, Deborah M., tech coords. 1996. Desired future conditions for Southwestern riparian ecosystems: Bringing interests and concerns together. 1995 Sept. 18-22, 1995; Albuquerque, NM. Gen. Tech. Rep. RM-GTR-272. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station. 359 p.
This proceedings represents scientific and applied papers presented at a symposium of the same title held 18-22 September 1995 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The symposium brought together scientists, natural resource managers, conservationists, and representatives from the private sector to share their findings, ideas, and visions for managing, conserving, and restoring riparian ecosystems in the Southwest. The Proceedings is divided into sections on the history, ecology, and management of the Rio Grande; general ecosystem hydrology and ecology; human history, values, and needs; ecosystem restoration and species recovery; and current and desired future conditions. Oral presentations given during panels on "Rio Grande restoration" and "People and riparian ecosystems" are also published in this volume. Patricia Pettit, President of the New Mexico Riparian Council, closed the symposium with an interactive session with the audience, which is summarized and published here. We thank sponsoring organizations for their support, and Karen Mora for her assistance in publishing the proceedings.
Keywords: riparian ecosystems; desired future conditions; human dimensions; hydrology; ecology; history; restoration; species recovery.
