How wolves change rivers | Wolf Watch UK

Wolves are ecosystem engineers that play an important role in the habitats they live in by improving the environment and helping to increase biodiversity. Listen as Wolf Watch UK takes you on a journey through George Monbiot's TED talk about how the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone national park had a balancing effect on the plants, animals and even the rivers!
Narration from TED: "For more wonder, rewild the world" by George Monbiot. Watch the full talk, here: bit.ly/N3m62h
Wolf Watch UK is an educational, not for profit wolf rescue sanctuary concentrating all efforts on enriching the lives of our wolves and offering them a natural environment as close to the wild as possible.

    While I agree with most of what George Monbiot says, when it comes to altering the river, my bet is that it was the beaver's who were responsible for that.

    the main change was less soil erosion, as they said in the video. The soil erosion was caused by ungulates' over grazing the stream banks. Beavers have no effect on moose populations, but wolves do. Beavers can alter the course of a creek or small river with dams, but the effect is very different from the effect of stabilizing and decreasing erosion of the river banks. The wolves not only lower the ungulate populations, but the very presence of wolves caused the moose to move more frequently. Moving more often means no one area gets overgrazed. Less overgrazing means more stable river banks and less soil erosion. Once the rivers stop meandering, then riffle pools, so necessary for reproduction of anadromous fish like salmon and trout. Riffles are the preeminant feature of coldwater streams. They are at once a food source, a shelter from predators, a hedge against oxygen depletion, and a conveyor belt that brings food to the trout. The baby trout, or fry, needs the riffle pools to safely mature.

    Directly yes, but the wolves allowed for the vegetation to regenerate due to them changing the behavior of the elk. So in the end the wolves influenced the rivers. That is the point of a trophic cascade.

    Yes. Beavers, you know the creature reintroduced a few years before the wolves that are actually built to, change rivers. But that doesnt generate the income to donate now buttons that wolves do.

    It's a great story, however I suggest reviewing the scientific research and yellowstone national park's own response to this story. But please don't discount the value in understand trophic cascades.
