vegetation, acting as flood protection areas, trapping sediment and preventing erosion (though the roots of riparian plants) before they reach the water course, helping maintain local water table levels, shading by the riparian plants and keeping stream temperatures low during the summer for the fish, acting as a corridor for land mammals (e.g. bears, deer, squirrels), and overall maintaining biological diversity. b) When assessing the condition of a riparian zone, good indicators include the…

The yellow tones developed from the silt that absorbed the toxic chemicals. Because of the lack precaution the workers used, the water’s unnatural look created major complications for China’s water source. The…
