Exotic species in riparian environments can influence the quantity and quality of litterfall in the ecological system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of Eucalyptus leaves on litterfall and ...

Riparian zones, transitional environments between terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, have been historically threatened in Europe by land reclamation and exploitation of their natural resources. These fragile environments ...

Riparian forests play a very important role in protecting watercourses and represent an energy source for the aquatic communities in low-order streams. Therefore, the input of allochthonous material from these ecosystems ...

To evaluate the effects of distinct management of the matrix in which forest fragments are found upon plant populations thriving in forest remnants in south Brazil, we assessed the conservation status of populations of ...

Few studies have quantified changes in riparian and adjacent forestacross landscape units. In this study, the composition and structure ofriparian and adjacent forest were compared in a humid and a semiarid ecoregionin ...

Fluvial hydrosystems are environments with large landscape to water surface ratio and therefore particularly vulnerable to changes in land use. We analysed the connection of environmental conditions in 31 prairie streams ...
