BEAVER HABITAT SELECTION AND IMPACTS ON SEDIMENT AND NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS IN A SOUTHWESTERN OHIO STREAM
Beavers (Castor Canadensis) cause significant ecologic change within stream systems by building dams. Recently beaver introductions have become increasingly sought after as alternative management strategies to restore streams. In this study we: 1) Determine the spatial distribution of beaver impacts around a man-made reservoir within a state park, and 2) to quantify the impact of a beaver dam on sediment and nutrient dynamics. The spatial distribution of beaver impacts appears to be highly influenced by the presence of a man-made reservoir. Sediment and nutrient concentrations are significantly impacted by the beaver dam. This study highlights the importance and effectiveness of beaver within protected lands in order to improve water quality.
