Nitrate removal in a restored riparian groundwater system: functioning and importance of individual riparian zones [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Abstract. For the design and the assessment of river restoration projects, it is important to know to what extent the elimination of reactive nitrogen (N) can be improved in the riparian groundwater. We investigated the effectiveness of different riparian zones, characterized by a riparian vegetation succession, on nitrate (NO3−) removal from ...

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

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.

Pressures and Status of the Riparian Vegetation in Greek Rivers: Overview and Preliminary Assessment
Hydrology, 2021 Riparian zones play an important role in the ecological stability of rivers. In particular, the quality of the riparian vegetation is a significant component of the hydromorphological status. In Europe, the QBR index (Qualitat del Bosc de Ribera) and the
