Forested Stream and/or Seepage
Forested stream environments are typically found in the buffer zones between forested land and stream banks, often
known as riparian zones. Stream headwaters and seepage areas occur where ground water percolates to the surface
through muck, mossy rock, and nettles. It can also be found under rocks, among gravel, or cobble where water has
begun to percolate in areas near open water. Breeding grounds are commonly found beneath mosses growing on
rocks, on logs, or soil surfaces in these types of seepage areas.
Predicted climate change will largely impact changes in temperature and moisture availability in forested stream
and/or seepage systems, likely having a cascading effect on a species habitat and increasing stress to many of these
species. The Appalachian LCC funded NatureServe to conduct vulnerability assessments on a suite of plants,
animals, and habitats within the Appalachians. These assessments can be used as an early warning system to alert
resource managers about changing conditions.

The rivers and streams of the Central Appalachians are home to more than 200 species of fish and other aquatic life. They also provide a reliable source of drinking water, recreational opportunities and associated economic benefits to people living in large cities and surrounding communities.

A classification system and map was developed for stream and river systems in the Appalachian LCC region, encompassing parts of 17 states. The product is intended to complement state-based stream classifications by unifying them into a single consistent system that represents the region’s natural flowing-water aquatic habitats. The results can be used to understand ecological flow relationships and inform conservation planning for aquatic biodiversity in the region.
