Do wider riparian zones alter benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages’ diversity and taxonomic composition in neotropical headwater streams?

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2021
: Aim The maintenance and condition of riparian vegetation are important factors for conserving headwater streams and their species diversity. Thus, variations in the width of a riparian zone can have dramatic effects in the structure and functioning of

Hydrothermal coupling model of a riparian zone considering heterogeneous heat transfer of soil

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2022
To improve the current simulations of hydrothermal exchange in riparian zones that do not take into account heterogeneous heat transfer of soil, this paper constructs a hydrothermal coupling model of riparian zones that includes heterogeneous heat ...

Influence of land use on the condition of the riparian zone along an urban-rural gradient in the Sabinal River, Mexico

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2018
Background: Riparian vegetation is strongly influenced by the surrounding land use. While it is known that urbanization processes can affect plant species composition and the ecological condition of the riparian zone, the specific responses require a ...
