A conceptual framework for riparian green space planning in mountainous cities
Energy Reports, 2023 The riparian green space covers the inner buffer zone to maintain the ecological characteristics of the river and the outer coordination green zone to serve the adjacent urban–rural functional areas.

Nitrate attenuation in a restored river floodplain system: River Cole (Oxfordshire - UK) [PDF]
, 2010 PhDRestoring river-floodplain connectivity has been proposed as an alternative management measure for natural flood defence through the temporary storage of floodwaters and the attenuation of flood peaks downstream.

From soil water to surface water – how the riparian zone controls element transport from a boreal forest to a stream [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Boreal headwaters are often lined by strips of highly organic soils, which are the last terrestrial environment to leave an imprint on discharging groundwater before it enters a stream.

Europe’s Green Arteries—A Continental Dataset of Riparian Zones [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Riparian zones represent ecotones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and are of utmost importance to biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Modelling/mapping of these valuable and fragile areas is needed for improved ecosystem management, based on an accounting of changes and on monitoring of their functioning over time.
