Tour a Riparian Area

 


You'll need the latest version of QuickTime (available free) to see these panoramic movies.

Above is a 360 degree panorama of a riparian area in the eastern foothills of the Coast Range, close to Corvallis, Oregon.

Move your cursor onto the center of the picture, click down and hold it, then drag your icon left or right, up or down. You can spin around in the forest! Be sure to look at the characterisitics of a riparian area: downed wood, succulent plants, primarily deciduous tree canopy, and a serpentine stream channel.
