- See “Floodplain connectivity / Riparian Vegetation” in Table 6.2-8, “Management Objectives to Address Limiting Factors”. Reintroduction of beavers and installation of Beaver Dam Analogues are specifically cited in that Habitat Attribute; but of course, using BDAs to restore floodplain connectivity will also increase floodplain storage, raise the groundwater elevation, contribute cool water to streams during summer base flows, restore wetlands, improve establishment and survival of riparian vegetation, etc., which are other cited Management Objectives in the table.
