Change in Sediment Dynamics: Post-Grazing Restoration of Quemada Creek, Santa Rosa Island, Channel Islands, California             Excessive grazing degrades watershed efficiency including decreased channel stabilization, reduced function of riparian habitat, terracette formation and accelerated bank erosion. This is shown to reduce water infiltration rates and escalate surface runoff and erosion rates.  This research explores post-grazing […]
