Habitat Benefits of Uplands and Riparian Rangeland
Both uplands and riparian rangelands provide essential habitat for wildlife species, offering good forage for wildlife and livestock while aiding in water conservation. The lower elevations near streams or seeps provide more water, stability to stream banks, and shade for aquatic species, whereas higher elevations have less water availability and plants with deep or shallow roots for water absorption. Explore the unique ecological roles of uplands and riparian areas in supporting diverse ecosystems.

UPLANDS AND RIPARIAN RANGELAND
Both provide habitat (or homes) for wildlife species. Both grow plants that are good forage for wildlife and livestock. Both help conserve water and keep it on the (vs. run-off) Lower elevations in the watershed. More water than uplands and adjacent to areas that are streams or seeps at least seasonally. Plants provide stability to stream banks Plants create shade for fish and other aquatic species. Higher elevations in the watershed. Less water availability (think about the topographic maps) Plants with either deep roots to access ground water or grass with shallow roots that quickly absorb rainfall
