On riparian forest buffers and riparian management

Abstract

Abstract: Riparian is a kind of landscape representation of aquatic-terrestrial ecotone,the vegetation area in the terrene that has interactions with waters,and the transition region between waters and upland vegetations.At present,people pay attentions to the riparian conservation and management increasingly,and riparian management has been the indispensable aspect for management of natural resources.In this paper,the overseas research and practice of riparian management summarized and the objectives,effects,approaches,current problem,and developing direction of riparian management discussed.The riparian forest buffers system in the USDA-FS report introduced in detail,and it is necessary to develop the studies and practices of riparian management in China.
