- W2187515861 abstract "We investigated the role of beaver (Castor canadensis) as a keystone species in riparian zones of the Northern Plains. Beaver dams across Oak Creek, on the Standing Rock Reservation near Wakpala SD, retained water in the creek channel during July 2006 despite extreme drought; portions of the creek that were not impounded by beaver were dry. Water depth was measured at six cross-sections across a dammed portion of the creek, and volumetric calculations indicated that significant amounts of water were being stored in the beaver “pond.” Long-term discharge measurements at downstream U.S. Geological Survey gauging station 06354882 show that Oak Creek flow is highly variable, with minimum flows of 0 cfs and a maximum flow of 6,800 cfs that occurred on March 28, 1997. These findings substantiate anecdotal information gained from long-time area ranchers, which credited beaver-impounded water with saving their ranching operations from certain disaster during major drought conditions. By keeping the water in surface pools, beaver ponds mitigate a negative impact of climate change by making water available for use by livestock and other fauna that inhabit the riparian zone. Restoration of Castor canadensis to their rightful place in a balanced Northern Plains ecological system may contribute a significant portion of surface stored water, thereby locally mitigating the negative impact of current and future droughts and adverse climate changes on local ranching and wildlife management activities." @default.
