Forest Landscape Restoration: Linkages with Stream Fishes of the Southern United States

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
A Goal-Oriented Approach to Forest Landscape Restoration

Part of the book series: World Forests ((WFSE,volume 16))

Abstract

The southern United States with over 600 native freshwater fishes supports one of the richest freshwater fish faunas on Earth, but many fishes in the region are imperiled. Historic and current land use dramatically altered the region’s landscape and its streams and rivers and consequently disrupted important linkages between forests and fishes. Impacts to the stream and river systems occurred in three overlapping developmental eras, each of which had unique and often profound effects on forests, fishes, or aquatic habitats: the era of agricultural and timber exploitation; the era of dam building and channel modification; and the era of population growth, industrialization, and urbanization. Benefits to fishes that could emerge from restoration of forest landscapes including: wood as habitat and cover for fishes, a substrate for fish food production, and a fish spawning substrate; the role of streamside forests in moderating water temperature; and use of floodplain forests by fish to forage and reproduce. Many fishes in the region derive multiple benefits from instream wood. The region faces major challenges in conserving not only native fishes but the entire richly diverse system of streams, rivers, and wetlands and the fauna they support. I believe forest landscape restoration could be an extremely positive tool in meeting these challenges and that rehabilitation of warmwater streams is possible with current knowledge but not without major shifts in stream corridor management strategies. However, implementing forest restoration in these settings is a major challenge given their past and current uses and management, regardless of the potential ecological services restoration could provide. The long-term challenge, if restoration is accomplished, will be managing riparian forests sustainably in a landscape composed of highly differing land uses overlain by a highly fragmented matrix of landownership and attitudes about the land.
