Impacts of Riprap on Wetland Shorelines, Upper Winnebago Pool Lakes, Wisconsin

Abstract: Isolation of causative factors has proved challenging in characterizing the physical, chemical, and biological effects of shoreline hardening on the nearshore environment because of logistical challenges in identifying comparable sites. Extensive shoreline hardening and interspersion with unaltered shores in the large, shallow lakes in central Wisconsin provide an opportunity to surmount this. We compared the effects of shoreline protection on wave climate, bottom topography and substrate, water quality, and p… Show more

“…The gabion's faunal species number were found to be lower than the natural slope and riprap, because the gabion surface area and the development of flora were lower than the natural slope and riprap revetment, causing a lack of ideal habitat space for faunal living and reproduction. Gabriel et al [8] compared the plant and animal species in five adjacent pairs of riprap and natural shorelines and reported that the proportional coverage by aquatic macrophytes at the armored shoreline was obviously higher than the natural site. Additionally, the amount of fish captured by the fyke net in the armored riprap shoreline was lower than that of the natural shoreline.…”

“…This is an indispensable part of the concept of ''sponge city" [5][6][7]. Ecological revetment can also be constructed using locally-available limestone materials [6][7][8]. Ecological revetment with a porous structure can provide a habitat for microbial and plant reproduction, which plays an important role in removing water pollutants.…”

“…hydromorphological changes, artificial shoreline stabilization, urban development, sediment removal, waterlevel control), on one biological taxonomic group. The shoreline stabilization of different types (mainly reinforced concrete structures, and/or using rip rap stones) are typically colonised with new vegetation-and animalspecies, their diversity fall often short of that on natural shores (Entz -Sebestyén, 1942;Gabriel -Bodensteiner, 2012;Jennings et al 1999). In some cases the artificial shoreline stabilization works when assessed separately, may as well provide advantageous habitat conditions for some animal species, in other cases, however, when evaluating shore regulation at lake-wide scales, the reduced biodiversity of habitats tends towards a disadvantageous process for the total ecosystem (Brauns et al, 2007;Lange, 1999).…”
