Chapter 5: Biological Processes in Riparian Areas
By Doug Green
Key Points of Chapter 5:
- Riparian areas contain habitats of high spatial diversity in the longitudinal, transverse and vertical directions.
- Habitats within riparian areas exhibit high temporal diversity because of frequent disturbance by floods and droughts.
- Riparian corridors function as conduits, filters, sinks and sources.
