Abstract

This study reports the ecological effects of reservoir inundation on a portion of the floodplain riparian system of the South Fork, Kern River, Kern County, California. The South Fork Wildlife Area, lying within gross pool of Isabella Reservoir and administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers, constitutes the prime portion of one of the largest and healthiest riparian forests remaining in California. In spring, 1980, the entire sanctuary was inundated by Isabella Reservoir, drastically reducing its unusually high bird populations and contributing to a reduction in the overall habitat values of the forest.
