Current Status
The current overall condition status for the Riparian Forest and Scrub Vegetation Community Indicator is Good, based on the two metrics selected. While the conservation targets (percent conserved; Metric 1) have not been fully met, progress on conservation is improving. The health of trees in riparian areas (ecological integrity; Metric 2) is in the Good category. It is important to note that the health of riparian vegetation was evaluated using 2014 data. Significant mortality may have occurred since 2014 due to the nonnative Kuroshio and Polyphagous shot hole borers and Fusarium Disease Complex. Additional analyses are needed to understand any changes. As additional information becomes available, new metrics evaluating species' richness and the amount of restored and/or enhanced riparian vegetation will be added at that time.
