The 33 pages that link to Riparian zone, each with the reason it gives.

• RiverRelated: Vegetation and soils along the banks interact directly with river flow.

• Freshwater ecologyRelated: Shoreline vegetation supplies habitat, shade, and organic matter to inland waters.

• MicroclimateRelated: Water and dense vegetation often make river margins cooler and more humid than nearby land.

• WaterfallRelated: Spray and persistent moisture create distinctive habitats near some waterfalls.

• Rangeland managementRelated: Livestock use can strongly affect streambanks, water quality, and riparian vegetation.

• Groundwater-dependent ecosystemRelated: Groundwater-fed riparian vegetation can decline when water tables fall.

• River red gumRelated: River red gums commonly form part of these river-edge plant communities.

• Stream ecologyRelated: Shade, litter, and wood from streamside areas alter stream habitat and food webs.

• River ecosystemRelated: Riverbanks exchange shade, organic matter, and nutrients with the channel.

• Proboscis monkeyRelated: Protecting riverbank forest preserves feeding and travel corridors for proboscis monkeys.

• Salix albaRelated: White willow commonly grows along waterways, where moist soils support its growth.

• European minkRelated: European mink depend on vegetated riverbanks for shelter, movement, and hunting.

• Glass frogRelated: Glass frog reproduction is commonly tied to vegetation beside flowing water.

• Harlequin duckRelated: Protecting streamside habitat safeguards breeding and brood-rearing sites.

• Betula nigraRelated: These waterside habitats are where river birch naturally thrives.

• Black storkRelated: The species often feeds and nests in wooded river landscapes.

• Giant otter shrewRelated: Streamside cover connects its aquatic hunting grounds with terrestrial resting sites.

• Grass snakeRelated: These waterside zones combine amphibian prey, basking places, and shelter.

• RavineRelated: Ravine streams support narrow riparian habitats along their floors.

• Reynoutria japonicaRelated: Knotweed commonly colonizes riverbanks, where flowing water can transport plant fragments downstream.

• River kingfisherRelated: Perches and nesting sites along water make riparian habitat central to many species.

• SaldidaeRelated: These margins supply shore bugs with wet ground and prey.

• Salix nigraRelated: These river margins provide characteristic habitat for black willow.

• SunbitternRelated: Sunbitterns often forage and nest close to wooded waterways.

• Tailed frogRelated: Adults occupy moist forest near the streams used for breeding and larval development.

• Washingtonia filiferaRelated: In its native range, the palm occurs in water-influenced habitats as well as oases.

• Water kingfisherRelated: These banks offer perches and nesting sites near feeding waters.

• Wood turtleRelated: Wood turtles depend on stream corridors and their adjoining terrestrial habitats.
