Assessing the benefits of forested riparian zones: A qualitative index of riparian integrity is positively associated with ecological status in European streams
Burdon, Francis J.; Ramberg, Ellinor; Sargac, Jasmina; Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; de Saeyer, Nancy; Mutinova, Petra Thea; Moe, Therese Fosholt; Pavelescu, Mihaela Oprina; Dinu, Valentin; Cazacu, Constantin; Witing, Felix; Kupilas, Benjamin; Grandin, Ulf; Volk, Martin; Rîşnoveanu, Geta; Goethals, Peter; Friberg, Nikolai; Johnson, Richard K.; McKie, Brendan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Developing a general, predictive understanding of ecological systems requires knowing how much structural and functional relationships can cross scales and contexts. Here, we introduce the CROSSLINK project that investigates ... -
A Bayesian Belief Network learning tool integrates multi-scale effects of riparian buffers on stream invertebrates
Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; Burdon, Francis J.; De Troyer, Niels; Lock, Koen; Witing, Felix; Baert, Lotte; De Saeyer, Nancy; Rîșnoveanu, Geta; Popescu, Cristina; Kupilas, Benjamin; Friberg, Nikolai; Boets, Pieter; Johnson, Richard K.; Volk, Martin; McKie, Brendan G.; Goethals, Peter L.M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Riparian forest buffers have multiple benefits for biodiversity and ecosystem services in both freshwater and terrestrial habitats but are rarely implemented in water ecosystem management, partly reflecting the lack of ... -
Forested Riparian Zones Provide Important Habitat for Fish in Urban Streams
Kupilas, Benjamin; Burdon, Francis J.; Thaulow, Jens; Håll, Johnny; Mutinova, Petra Thea; Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; Witing, Felix; Rîșnoveanu, Geta; Goethals, Peter; McKie, Brendan G.; Friberg, Nikolai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Riparian zones form a boundary between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, with disproportionate influences on food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning in both habitats. However, riparian boundaries are frequently ... -
Small Patches of Riparian Woody Vegetation Enhance Biodiversity of Invertebrates
Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; De Troyer, Niels; Lock, Koen; Witing, Felix; Baert, Lotte; de Saeyer, Nancy; Risnoveanu, Geta; Popescu, Cristina; Burdon, Francis J.; Kupilas, Benjamin; Friberg, Nikolai; Boets, Pieter; Volk, Martin; McKie, Brendan G.; Goethals, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Patches of riparian woody vegetation potentially help mitigate environmental impacts of agriculture and safeguard biodiversity. We investigated the effects of riparian forest on invertebrate diversity in coupled stream-riparian ...
