Tracing the scientific trajectory of riparian vegetation studies: Main topics, approaches and needs in a globally changing world
Riparian vegetation is a crucial component of fluvial systems and serves multiple socio-
ecological functions. The objective of this review is to follow the scientific trajectory of studies …
