BIOTA QUALITY: A RIPARIAN HABITAT MODEL

This paper presents a model for defining and measuring biota quality for the purpose of assessing the impacts of resource development plans on biota quality. The model uses the habitat approach and concentrates on the riparian system. The means to measure the parts of a riparian system, weight the importance of the various parts, and produce an overall index of biota quality are presented.
