Abstract: | The model can help in examining the relative sensitivity of water-quality variables to alterations in land use made at varying
distances from the stream channel. The model also shows the importance of streamside management zones, which are key to maintenance
of stream water quality. The linkage model can be considered a first step in the integration of GIS and ecological models.
The model can then be used by local and regional land managers in the formulation of plans for watershed-level management. |
