Riparian research focuses on the study of ecosystems found at the interface between land and water, particularly along rivers, streams, and wetlands. These areas are characterized by high biodiversity and ecological productivity, as well as high levels of interactions between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Riparian research often examines the ecological processes, functions, and interactions that occur in these unique habitats, as well as the impacts of human activities on riparian ecosystems and their biodiversity. This area of research is important for understanding and conserving these critical transitional zones between land and water.
