Alteration of riparian vegetation

04. Morphological alterations

General description

Many different pressures impact on riparian vegetation driven by processes acting at local up to global scales from. In this particular context we are specifically referring to activities carried out immediately adjacent to the river (e.g. cultivation of crops) or in the riparian zone itself (e.g. logging, grazing and trampling, gravel and water extraction, and recreation).

Effect/Impact on (including literature citations)

  • HYMO (general and specified per HYMO element)
  • physico - chemical parameters
  • Biota (general and specified per Biological quality elements)

Case studies where this pressure is present

Possible restoration, rehabilitation and mitigation measures
