California Riparian Systems: Ecology, Conservation, and Productive ManagementRichard E. Warner, Kathleen M. Hendrix This volume presents 135 of the papers presented at the 1981 California Riparian Systems Conference. The papers address all aspects of riparian systems: habitat, wildlife, land management, land use policy planning, conservation and water resource management. |
