IquErzUla•••Figure 6.11Agricultural and built land relative to natural land around rivers and
major streams. Predominant cover type is estimated for the area between
approximately 100 and 3000 m from the water along all major streams and rivers
(marked on Color Figures 2--39) in urban regions; stream/river corridor vegetation
and unmapped small or seasonal streams are excluded. See Figure 6.2 caption for
city information.thearea. Thus aggregating the small woods to mimic larger woods, or making
lines of woods as stepping stones for movement in appropriate directions, is
ecologically useful.

Land cover around rivers and streams
[W1]Most urban regions have <33 % natural vegetation cover near rivers and
major streams(Figure6.11).
