DOI: 10.1007/s00267-021-01484-9
Abstract: Watershed land cover affects in-stream water quality and sediment nutrient dynamics. The presence of natural land cover in the riparian zone can reduce the negative effects of agricultural land use on water quality; however, literature… read more here.

Thresholds of riparian forest use by terrestrial mammals in a fragmented Amazonian deforestation frontier
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1571-5
Abstract: Species persistence in fragmented landscapes is intimately related to the quality, structure, and context of remaining habitat remnants. Riparian vegetation is legally protected within private landholdings in Brazil, so we quantitatively assessed occupancy patterns of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2016.11.033
Abstract: Extensive 1970–2010 deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has generated a ~ 1.5 Mha fragmented region known as the ‘arc of deforestation’. Farmers and cattle ranchers throughout Brazil are legally required to set-aside riparian forest strips… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111630
Abstract: Many terrestrial ecosystems have undergone profound transformation under the pressure of multiple human stressors. This may have oriented altered ecosystems toward transient or new states. Understanding how these cumulative impacts influence ecosystem functions, services and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landusepol.2017.12.062
Abstract: Freshwater ecosystems across the Amazon are largely comprised of small streams and headwaters of riparian zones. These areas are legally protected within private landholdings in Brazil, but recent changes in the environmental legislation have slackened… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rbe.2016.10.004
Abstract: Preserved riparian vegetation usually has greater environmental complexity than the riparian vegetation modified by human actions. These systems may have a greater availability and diversity of food resources for the species. Our objective was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018ef000874
Abstract: Forests on tropical floodplains across Southeast Asia are being converted to oil palm plantations. Preserving natural riparian forest corridors along rivers that pass through oil palm plantations has clear benefits for ecological conservation, but these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12401
Abstract: Ecological restoration of riparian forest corridors at the landscape scale can facilitate recruitment of certain flora and fauna, thus possibly helping to maintain viable wildlife populations. We evaluated ecological restoration of three corridors between two… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f8040124
Abstract: Measuring soil organic carbon (SOC) in riparian forest soils affected by floods is crucial for evaluating their concentration and distribution along hydrological gradients (longitudinal and transversal). Hydromorphological factors (e.g., sedimentation vs. erosion, size of floodplain,… read more here.
