DOI: 10.1002/rra.3587
Abstract: Aridland riparian forests are undergoing compositional changes in vegetation and wildlife communities due to altered hydrology. As flows have been modified, woody vegetation has shifted from native‐tree dominated to non‐native and shrub encroached habitats. Squamate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12517-019-4910-2
Abstract: Riparian forests are important ecosystems especially in arid zones but no information is available about soil enzyme activity in this ecosystem. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explore some soil enzyme activities and… 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: 10.1098/rstb.2017.0439
Abstract: Trophic rewilding maintains that large mammals are functionally important to resource subsidies and nutrient repletion, yet this prediction is understudied. Here, I report on the potential magnitude and variability of nitrogen that moose populations move… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.12490
Abstract: Riparian vegetation has great functional importance in agroscapes because it establishes physical connections between natural ecosystems embedded in an agricultural matrix. Throughout the tropics, the historical demand for cropland and pastures in the lands adjacent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2017-0194
Abstract: The historic abundance of salmonids returning to natal streams of the inland Pacific Northwest, USA may have constituted a major nutrient influx into these commonly oligotrophic ecosystems. Inland ecosystems tend to be warmer and dryer… read more here.

The spatial distribution and temporal variation of desert riparian forests and their influencing factors in the downstream Heihe River basin, China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Hydrology and Earth System Sciences"
DOI: 10.5194/hess-21-2405-2017
Abstract: Abstract. Desert riparian forests are the main restored vegetation community in Heihe River basin. They provide critical habitats and a variety of ecosystem services in this arid environment. Since desert riparian forests are also sensitive… read more here.
