Abstract
This study used the Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) to estimate beaver dam capacity in streams in the Sierra Nevada of California. We used BRAT model results to estimate potential water storage and fire resilience associated with potential beaver dam capacity in the region. We used this analysis to identify priority watersheds for beaver restoration and reintroduction. This code replicates our analysis of BRAT model results.

Maximizing the potential benefits of beaver restoration for fire resilience and water storage
This study used the Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) to estimate beaver dam capacity in streams in the Sierra Nevada of California. We used BRAT model results to estimate potential water storage and fire resilience associated with potential beaver dam capacity in the region. We used this analysis to identify priority watersheds for beaver restoration and reintroduction.
