"A free-flowing river through the Grand Canyon means you'd restore the river — riparian zones, animals that belong there, a beautiful canyon with arches and bridges and waterfalls.
The Canadian River Riparian Forest Restoration Project provides incentives for agriculturalists to remove water-thirsty shrub species, such as salt cedar (Harding County 2016).
For instance, Harding and Union Counties, NM, are part of the Canadian River Riparian Forest Restoration Project (other counties outside of Cimarron County in Oklahoma are part of the project as well).
This study uses DNA barcoding to investigate the species diversity of the Branchiopoda from Churchill, including both planktonic and benthic representatives from rock pools, tundra ponds, rivers, riparian backwaters, and lakes.
Hence, the study combines observation-conceptualization framework with river-riparian-upland connectivity and source-pathway-target continuity.
They had to be extremely vigilant, ecologists said, and could no longer hang out carefree by the river eating riparian plants to their heart's content.
In addition to spillways, openings through dams are also required for drawing off water for irrigation and water supply, for ensuring a minimum flow in the river for riparian interests downstream, for generating power, and for evacuating water and silt from the reservoir.
Most rivers in Italy are segmented by dams that need rehabilitation because of (1) safety requirements by increasingly risk-averse societies, (2) changes in the downstream river and riparian system after dams building, (3) poor initial design at the time of completion and (4) modified priorities of watershed management.
With its focus on spatial and temporal changes, landscape ecology is ideally suited to assess and quantify these riverlands modifications and it is currently used at the national, state, and sub-state level in efforts to restore or manage river and riparian landscapes.
Today, the river's riparian zone consists primarily of cottonwoods, willows and sycamores, with several other types of trees such as maple and ash.
The New Brunswick Department of Environment also warned of the erosion caused by the removal of the river's riparian zones, which is a common "land use practice".
