Riparian Forest

What it is:

A Riparian forest is a forested area of land adjacent to a body of water. Riparian comes from the Latin ripa, meaning a stream or river bank.

Benefits-

Riparian forests help control sediment, reduce the damaging effects of flooding and aid in stabilizing stream
riparian vegetation causes Biofiltration Protects aquatic animals and plants
Filters out land pollution filters out nitrogen sediment, organic material, nutrients and pesticides
Supply shade for aquatic animals that need the cooler temperatures to survive also helps stop the effects of climate change
supports a greater diversity of wildlife than nearly all non-aquatic areas or upland forests
high humidity, moist, loose soils
