Why are riparian areas valuable to producers?
The abundance of water in riparian areas makes them highly productive. They can produce higher quantities of forage than adjacent upland sites, as they stay greener longer as a result of the availability of soil moisture. As a result, managed riparian areas can provide valuable livestock grazing particularly in a time of bad weather conditions.
