Body
Willow (Salix sp.) growth and use by beavers (Castor canadensis) was examined and compared on a site on the Yampa River (a free-flowing river) and a site on the Green River (downstream of a dam, where river flow was regulated) in Colorado and Utah. Willow abundance, distribution, percent of willows cut, and biomass removal were measured at both sites.
