Talk:Riparian forest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shouldn't this article be combined with Riparian strip?

No. Not all riparian strips or riparian buffers are forested. You can have scrubs, grasses or unfortunately bare soil in riparian strips. --Ray 16:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] non flowing water bodies

upon what authority does riparian refer to "non-flowing" bodies of water. i have only seen it used to denote the fringe of a flowing water body. Anlace 05:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
