Riparian vegetation as a trap for plastic litter

Environmental Pollution, 2022
Plastic pollution represents the most widespread threaten throughout the world and, amongst aquatic habitats, freshwaters and in particular riparian zones seems to be highly disturbed. Since the plastic storage and accumulation on the riparian vegetation have not yet been deeply investigated, here, we focussed on the riparian zone's function in ...

Shredders and Riparian Vegetation

BioScience, 1989
Stream invertebrates that feed on leaf litter are intimately tied to the nature and timing of the litter input. These invertebrates are called shredders; they consume streamside, riparian litter that has become trapped in the stream channel. This plant litter accumulates at the leading edge of obstructions in the current and settles out in pools ...

River Suspended Sediment Control through Riparian Vegetation: A Method to Detect the Functionality of Riparian Vegetation

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, 2010
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to propose a method to detect the functionality of riparian vegetation as buffers/filters/trap against soil runoff and polluting agents caused by agricultural land and erosion areas, near the river. The suspended sediment yield (SSY) is the main vector for pollutants and nutrients generated from the runoff, in the ...

Woody Riparian Vegetation

2020
The riparian woodland in the Maltese Islands are very rare and represented by scattered and isolated patches, which are very depauperated and degraded due to intense anthropic activities. Besides, it is to be noted that in this territory the watercourses are short with a limited flow and usually dried in summertime.

Riparian vegetation of ephemeral streams

Journal of Arid Environments, 2017
Abstract Ephemeral streams are abundant in drylands, yet we know little about how their vegetation differs from surrounding terrestrial zones and about their projected response to regional warming and drying. We assessed plant communities at seven ephemeral streams (and terrestrial zones) distributed among three climatic settings in Arizona. Compared

The role of hydrochory in structuring riparian and wetland vegetation

Biological Reviews, 2010
Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory and its ecological consequences has increased considerably and a substantial body of literature has been produced.

Nitrogen uptake and turnover in riparian woody vegetation

Oecologia, 2004
The nutrient balance of streams and adjacent riparian ecosystems may be modified by the elimination of anadromous fish runs and perhaps by forest fertilization. To better understand nitrogen (N) dynamics within stream and riparian ecosystems we fertilized two streams and their adjacent riparian corridors in central Idaho.

Linking Riparian Dynamics and Groundwater: An Ecohydrologic Approach to Modeling Groundwater and Riparian Vegetation

Environmental Management, 2005
The growing use of global freshwater supplies is increasing the need for improved modeling of the linkage between groundwater and riparian vegetation. Traditional groundwater models such as MODFLOW have been used to predict changes in regional groundwater levels, and thus riparian vegetation potential attributable to anthropogenic water use.
