 ScienceLives! Online - Ecology - The Riparian Zone
Riparian zones occur along rivers, and act as a transition zone between the terrestrial and the aquatic ecosystems.
The vegetation in these riparian zones influences the river by shading and by providing organic matter (Gregory et al., 1991.) The riparian zones may also trap nutrients, such as nitrogen, which otherwise would have gone directly into the stream.
If managers are interested in reducing nitrogen inputs to a river, they need to determine if the riparian zone is a suitable site for denitrification.
