Résumé du livre
This document provides guidance for assessing the condition of any riparian-wetland area other than a lotic (riverine) area. These areas, which are called lentic areas, not only include jurisdictional wetlands as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1987), but also nonjurisdictional areas (e.g., deep water, freshwater, saline, marine, and estuarine) that provide enough available water to the root zone to establish and maintain riparian-wetland vegetation--Page 1.
