The role of riparian zones cannot be understated in relation to water quality and wildlife habitat. A riparian zone refers to stream bank system, including the stream, soils, flora, and fauna within it. Riparian buffers, specifically, are one of the most significant structures to implement along streams and rivers because of the structure’s many functions and abilities. Riparian buffer zones act as a canopy to shade and cool stream temperatures, as a filter strip to attenuate sediment, pollutant…

This paper synthesizes the flow assessment methodologies to understand ecological responses to flow alteration and begins with a compilation of all historical methods to assess environmental…

Rocky intertidal zonation at Lawrencetown Beach Introduction Nova Scotia has an extensive coastline with varying degrees of exposure. The intertidal zone (littoral zone) is where the ocean meets land and around Nova Scotia’s coast this zone is highly diverse, from salt marshes to mudflats and rocky shores.
