Effects Of Land Use On Riparian Corridors In Sonoma County, Marina Davies May 2020

Effects Of Land Use On Riparian Corridors In Sonoma County, Marina Davies

Master's Projects and Capstones

Riparian corridor protection through zoning ordinances is a common best management practice to protect riparian ecosystems and function. These zoning ordinances protect riparian ecosystems by establishing setback distances where land use activities are prohibited. While management of protected riparian corridors are widely studied, recommendations for riparian corridor width vary and are often site specific. The variability of corridor widths presents a challenge to riparian corridor implementation, in addition to balancing economic needs with natural resource protection. This study evaluates the effects of land use on riparian corridors and compares the Riparian Corridor Combining Zone ordinance in Sonoma County to other …


Master's Project - Wildlife Habitat Linkages Surrounding The Lake George And Southern Lake Champlain Region, Sam E. Talbot Jan 2016

Master's Project - Wildlife Habitat Linkages Surrounding The Lake George And Southern Lake Champlain Region, Sam E. Talbot

Rubenstein School Masters Project Publications

Conservation priorities – when developed systematically and objectively – can maximize land protection efforts in heterogeneous landscapes susceptible to parcelization and development. One such region surrounds Lake George and Southern Lake Champlain, nested between the Green and Adirondack Mountains. This mosaic of conserved and private parcels sits upon an array of forest, agriculture, wetland, and development valuable to both humans and resident wildlife species. This landscape’s inherent connectedness provides many benefits to wildlife, including species richness, enhanced persistence, and increased genetic interchange. However, it is difficult to make definitive statements about potential wildlife movement through such complex matrices. Therefore, wildlife …


Short Report On: Inquiry Into The Utilisation Of Rail And Infrastructure Corridors. Prepared For The Nsw Legislative Assembly, Committee On Transport And Infrastructure, Andrew Mccusker, Nagesh Shukla Apr 2015

Short Report On: Inquiry Into The Utilisation Of Rail And Infrastructure Corridors. Prepared For The Nsw Legislative Assembly, Committee On Transport And Infrastructure, Andrew Mccusker, Nagesh Shukla

Nagesh Shukla

This report to the parliamentary inquiry addresses the use of land development for integrated infrastructure corridors and considers improvement to policy development, planning and strategies to achieve greater productivity, enhanced liveability and improved economic benefit through informed decision making. In considering rail corridor usage long term it is essential to support the needs of society through decision making that is underpinned by proper analysis and longer term modelling. In order to ensure any proposed interventions represent a step forward with respect to competiveness of the transport system, the liveability for affected residence and customers and the overall resilience to unexpected …
