Effects of South-to-North Water Diversion Project Cascade Dams on Riparian Vegetation Along the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Hanjiang River, China [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The influence of the construction of dams for water diversion on the ecological environment has attracted recent widespread attention. Over time, dams have emerged as one of the most important factors affecting the vegetation along the riparian zones of ...

Characterizing riparian vegetation and classifying riparian extent using airborne laser scanning data

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Riparian areas are an integral component of the forest hydrologic system. However, systematic management and conservation of riparian vegetation remains a challenge when the extent and nature of riparian vegetation is not easily characterized.

Riparian vegetation reduces coastal turbidity. [PDF]

Commun Sustain
Abstract Marine ecosystems worldwide are increasingly degraded by upstream land use activities, compounding climate change impacts. However, empirically quantifying causal land-sea linkages remains challenging. Using remote sensing data (1987-2019) and four causal inference methods, here we developed an empirical and scalable ...

Influence of Lakeshore Riparian Vegetation on Diet, Feeding Rate, and Body Condition of Adfluvial Coastal Cutthroat Trout [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Terrestrial invertebrates provide energy and nutrients to lacustrine systems. However, the extent to which lakeshore and riparian vegetation affects the diet of lake‐associated fish is not well known. We sampled six small lakes (

Noise‐induced phenomena in riparian vegetation dynamics [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2007
Random forcing due to the river streamflow is a key element in riparian vegetation ecosystems. It influences several aspects of the riparian landscape, the most important being the morphology and water availability. In this letter, we analytically solve a stochastic model to show how hydrological random fluctuations are able to induce both ...

Riparian vegetation layers differ three years after mixed severity wildfire in Oregon [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Riparian ecosystems are highly diverse and dynamic, but effects of fire on riparian vegetation are poorly understood. In 2020, widespread wildfires impacted forests across the western Oregon Cascades, including riparian areas.

The Mechanisms Driving Vegetation Changes in Riparian and Typical Floodplains Under Cascade Hydropower Development in the Middle Reach of Hanjiang River [PDF]

Plants
Vegetation within riparian and floodplain undergoes significant alterations driven by climatic factors and human interventions, particularly influenced by cascade hydropower development.

Floristic Diversity of Riparian and Associated Vegetation Along the Amnay River (The Philippines) [PDF]

Plant-Environment Interactions
Riparian vegetation plays a critical role in maintaining ecological integrity along river corridors, yet it is highly sensitive to changes in hydrological and geomorphic conditions, particularly in sediment‐influenced tropical river systems.

Quality Profile of Riparian Zone and Vegetation Quality in Amprong River, Tumpang District Based on QBR index and NDVI

Biotropika: Journal of Tropical Biology, 2021
Riparian zones provide ecosystem services depending on the quality of riparian vegetation and vegetation health. The role of riparian vegetation was determined by the total cover, cover structure, vegetation cover quality, and channel alteration of the ...
