This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: refuge amw, Presence of exotic species The prescence of exotic species may limit the ability of an area to act a refuge through predation/competition Refuge Quality/Capacity, Riparian Vegetation Good riparian vegetation increases availability of woody habitat Physical habitat availability/diversity/quality, Riparian Vegetation Need a reasonable quality of riparian veg Refuge Quality/Capacity, Key biological cues maintained to sustain viable populations flow, temperature, etc cues for things such as reproduction need to occur with a minimal frequency to sustain viable populations Refuge Quality/Capacity, Riparian Vegetation Good quality riparian vegetatation improves instream WQ eg filtration of sediment/nutrients in runoff, shade/temp, less light for algal bloom/nuisance plant issues Water Quality, Water Quality That is suitable to sustain biota Refuge Quality/Capacity, Physical habitat availability/diversity/quality Type of habitat requirements depend on the biota that need to be sustained and may include appropriate: macrophytes, LWD, CPOM, undercut banks, flow habitats Refuge Quality/Capacity
