Adapting to climate change on Western public lands: addressing the ecological effects of domestic, wild, and feral ungulates.

abstract：:In the United States, the Clean Water Act requires mitigation for wetlands that are negatively impacted by dredging and filling activities. During the mitigation process, there generally is little effort to assess function for mitigation sites and function is usually inferred based on vegetative cover and acreage. In ...
