Riparian restoration focuses on the rehabilitation and conservation of riparian zones, which are areas of land located along the banks of rivers, streams, and other bodies of water. These areas are vital for the health of ecosystems, as they provide habitat for wildlife, protect water quality, and prevent erosion. Riparian restoration efforts typically involve planting native vegetation, stabilizing banks, and restoring natural hydrology to these areas. This research area aims to promote the restoration and preservation of riparian zones to improve overall ecosystem health and biodiversity.
