Animating the critical zone: beavers as critical zone engineers by Clifford Adamchak, Clifford Adamchak, Katherine B. Lininger, Eve-Lyn S. Hinckley, Eve-Lyn S. Hinckley

“…River corridors (RC) provide a disproportionate amount of ecosystem services. Over time, beaver activity, including submersion of woody vegetation, burrowing, dam building, and abandonment, can impact critical zone processes in the river corridor by influencing landscape evolution, biodiversity, geomorphology, hydrology, primary productivity, and biogeochemical cycling. …”
