The text synthesizes information about the vegetation, soils, and chemistry of beaver impoundments, bridging the fields of ecosystem science and landscape ecology to analyze the dynamics of a beaver-altered landscape. The findings from this mature system can inform other scientists and managers about the sustainability and long-term ecosystem effects of beaver activity that is still expanding in much of North America. These findings are also compared to studies of beaver-occupied landscapes in other locations, including the Adirondacks, Tierra del Fuego, and other national parks. Dr. Carol A. Johnston is Professor of Ecology in the Department of Natural Resource Management at South Dakota State University. She is a Certified Professional Soil Scientist, a Fellow of the Society of Wetland Scientists, and a life member of the Ecological Society of America. 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aWildlife 606 $aFish 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aFish & Wildlife Biology & Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25080 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aLandscape Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aWildlife. 615 0$aFish. 615 0$aEcosystems. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 14$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aFish & Wildlife Biology & Management. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 676 $a591.7 700 $aJohnston$b Carol A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0875486 702 $aYarrow$b Greg K. 702 $aMiller$b James E$g(James Earl),$f1941- 712 02$aWildlife Services (U.S.), 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253940003321 996 $aBeavers: Boreal Ecosystem Engineers$91954754 997 $aUNINA
