Time series analysis and the analysis of aquatic and riparian ecosystems

Time series analysis of physical instream habitat and the riparian zone is not done as frequently as would be beneficial in understanding the fisheries aspects of the aquatic ecosystem. This paper presents two case studies have how time series analysis may be accomplished. Time series analysis is the analysis of the variation of the physical habitat or the hydro-period in the riparian zone (in many situations, the floodplain).
