DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20250
Abstract: Riparian zones provide multiple benefits including streambank stabilization and nutrient abatement. But there is a knowledge gap on how the type of vegetation and environmental factors (e.g., soil temperature, moisture) within the riparian zone influence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-021-01746-3
Abstract: Ecological processes (e.g., nutrient cycling) in riparian zones are often affected by land-use type and flooding. The extent to which land-use types and flooding conditions affect soil microorganisms and their ecological functions in riparian zones… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0149-5
Abstract: The boreal ecoregion supports about one-third of the world’s forest. Over 90% of boreal forest streams are found in headwaters, where terrestrial–aquatic interfaces are dominated by organic matter (OM)-rich riparian zones (RZs). Because these transition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0252-2
Abstract: Riparian zones are key interfaces between stream and terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, we know of no whole-watershed experiments that cut only woody vegetation in the riparian zone in an otherwise intact watershed to isolate the role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128702
Abstract: Biogeochemical hotspots of nitrogen cycling such as ammonia oxidation commonly occur in riparian ecosystems. However, the responses of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) to water-level fluctuations (WLF) in riparian zones remain unclear. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.limno.2021.125905
Abstract: Abstract Riparian zones are important interface areas between soil and stream systems. Few studies carried out in tropical and subtropical regions evaluate litter decomposition in both stream water and riparian soils. Herein, we assessed the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-20723-4
Abstract: The study aimed to identify the lateral heterogeneity of soil physicochemical properties in riparian zones, and its underlying drivers during natural restoration after agricultural abandonment. Abandoned farmlands, after 5-year natural restoration, within 500 m from the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65200-z
Abstract: The effect of flooding on soil enzyme activities and soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics remains a widely debated topic. Here, we investigated spatial variations in C-hydrolyzing enzyme activities, soil C contents in different fractions [i.e.… read more here.
