Summary

• It has long been recognized that beaver impoundments influence the habitats of hundreds of species of plants and animals, and that this alteration of environment exerts both harmful and beneficial effects on various important wildlife species and lowland plant communities. Although a few objective studies have been made of certain of these interrelating phenomena, the literature for the most part contains general statements based on subjective observations.
