| Description | A Professional Project Report Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Water Resources Hydroscience Option, Water Resources Program The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, November 2006. Lotic ecosystems of the southwestern U.S. can be severely affected by wildfires causing alterations in water chemistry, sedimentation from runoff events, and changes in macro invertebrate community structure. In these same systems, the use of prescribed burns as forest and/or grassland management tools also may cause changes. The severity of these changes in comparison to wildfires is of primary importance to the effectiveness of these management tools, as any degradation of aquatic habitats... |
