Providing water, flood conveyance, wildlife habitat, and recreational and educational opportunities, the river is a vital resource for both people and ecological communities in the region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Santa Ana River historically occupied a broad and dynamic river corridor characterized by a diverse mix of riparian and wetland habitats; surrounding areas were dominated by extensive sage scrub and forbland communities. Over the past two centuries, however, the natural functioning of the river has been heavily modified through channelization, levees, dam construction, and other impacts. Over 80% of the native habitat within the study area has been converted to developed and disturbed land, including approximately half of the historical extent of riparian forest and scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the Santa Ana River and its surroundings have changed drastically since the mid-19th century, this modified landscape still has the potential to support a healthy and resilient ecosystem. This report synthesizes information from both historical and present-day landscape analyses to develop multi-benefit strategies and recommendations that support ecological processes, meet present-day species needs, and foster livable communities with connection to nature and its benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Baumgarten, Lauren Stoneburner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195031314X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950313143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e San Francisco Estuary Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 11.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Sean Baumgarten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616872755455,"sku":"9781950313143","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3266af4-3919-4c50-b476-d849763e2701.jpg?v=1703022799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconnecting-riverside-with-its-river-sean-baumgarten-9781950313143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
