Floodplain forests offer a diversity of habitats and resources for a very wide range of plant
and animal species. They also offer many benefits to humankind and are considered …

Riparian forests (RFs) along streams and rivers in forested landscapes provide many
ecosystem functions that are important for the biodiversity and biogeochemistry of both …

Spatially extensive high-resolution soil moisture map** is valuable in practical forestry
and land management, but challenging. Here we present a novel technique involving use of …

Improving our ability to detect changes in terrestrial and aquatic systems is a grand
challenge in the environmental sciences. In a world experiencing increasingly rapid rates of …

Of all ecosystems, freshwaters support the most dynamic and highly concentrated
biodiversity on Earth. These attributes of freshwater biodiversity along with increasing …

Riparian zones of rivers are transitional environments between land and water ecosystems
with distinct hydrological gradients, soils and habitats strongly related to their functioning …

Riparian areas are biologically rich ecosystems, but they are highly threatened across the
globe. Invertebrates represent a large proportion of the animal diversity within riparian …

In this review, we draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their
riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view. Although the knowledge …

Trafficking wet soils within and near stream and lake buffers can cause soil disturbances, ie
rutting and compaction. This–in turn–can lead to increased surface flow, thereby facilitating …

Analysis of organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC, respectively), pH, Na, K, Ca, Mg,
