Following decades of riparian buffer zone (RBZ) studies there remains a need to look across
individual site data for collective evidence on the site-specific pollution mitigation and river …

The transport of excess nutrients into freshwater systems constitutes a serious risk to both
water quality and aquatic health. Vegetated buffer zones (VBZs) next to waterways are …

Riparian zones are important natural means of water purification, by decreasing the
aqueous concentration of terrestrial organic matter (OM) through adsorption and microbial …

Many studies have proved the impacts of nanoplastic pollution in freshwaters on aquatic
organisms and ecosystems. To explore toxic mechanisms of nanoplastics on stream …

Riparian soils in the lower sections of the Lhasa River were chosen as the research focus, to
examine the characteristics and sources of heavy metals in riparian soils of high-cold …

Environmental illiteracy threatens the functioning mechanisms of ecological networks
worldwide, yet many people remain dubious about their existence. The knowledge deficit …

Environmental illiteracy threatens ecosystem functions globally, however, many continue to
deny its existence. Knowledge deficit theory suggests that suspicions will decrease once …

Topographic features impact the riparian landscape, which shapes reservoir ecosystems.
We know little about ecological network parameter (ENP) responses to topographical …

Riparian buffers and stream channel widths along river networks have extremely significant
ecological influences on parameters and stressors associated with riparian health indicators …

Riparian topographical features can drive a suite of ecological indicators (EIs) that shape the
river ecosystem. The mechanisms that EIs reflect provide several ecosystem services. We …
