Repeated vegetation monitoring for riparian forest restoration project, Santa Clara River, CA, 2015-2023.
We implemented a spatially-patterned methodology to restore 87 ha of riparian forest habitat, selectively applying multiple restoration approaches based on localized differences in degradation severity throughout the project area. This work was conducted as part of a large, collaborative effort to control invasive Arundo donax and reestablish contiguous natural habitat throughout the Santa Clara River floodplain in southern California.
Riparian controls on light availability, primary producers, invertebrates, fish and salamanders in streams in and near the Andrews Experimental Forest, 2014-2018
The goal of this data collection effort was to determine how the age, stage, and structure of the riparian forest relates to stream primary producers and stream biota. Data were collected on stream habitat, benthic algal, biota (fish, salamanders and macroinvertebrates), and riparian forest cover across a total of 9 streams: 7 streams in the HJ Andrews basin/Lookout Creek stream network; one stream in the westward adjacent Blue River basin, and one stream in the eastward adjacent Deer Creek river basin. In each stream there were 2 study reaches – one bordered by old-growth riparian forest and the other bordered by regenerated second-growth riparian forest on at least one bank (with a stand ages that generally ranged between 30 and 60 years). In each study reach (80 – 150 m), we collected the following data: pool habitat, wetted and bankfull widths, large wood abundance and volume, riparian forest canopy cover, benthic algae accrual on tiles, stream macroinvertebrate abundances (from 6 replicate surber samplers, which were pooled and then sub-sampled, identified and measured), age 1+ cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) abundance and biomass, age 0+ (young-of-year) trout abundance and biomass, coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) abundance and biomass. Fish and salamander abundances were calculated by either mark-recapture or multiple pass depletion methods.
PGL01 Litterfall collection in riparian gallery forest at Konza Prairie
Litterfall is collected monthly (more frequently during peak litterfall in October and November) at permanent sampling sites in the mixed deciduous gallery forest located along the lower reaches of Kings Creek at the Konza Prairie Biological Station. Thirty litterfall traps, 50 x 50 cm (.25 m2) are located along the north fork of Kings Creek, and two are located on the south fork of Kings Creek. The north fork boxes are numbered 31 to 60 and the south fork boxes are numbered 1 and 2. Originally, the south fork also had boxes 3 to 30 but these samplers were terminated in 1993 due to repeated damage by bison. (Boxes 1 and 2 are located just outside the bison area.) Samples are sorted in the lab, and mass of wood, seeds, and foliage are recorded separately.
Riparian and upland understory vegetation lifeforms and leaf-litterfall ordination analyses in the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot
Riparian areas are proportionally a small component of the forested landscape, they are significant contributors to ecosystem process, terrestrial and aquatic linkages, plant community composition, as well to basal energy resources for aquatic fauna. We describe vegetation and leaf-litterfall composition in relation to past land use in riparian and upland locations in tropical wet forest, Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot (LFDP), Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. Data collected from 2003 to 2005. Stratified sampling was conducted in riparian and upland areas of LFDP with high and low past land use. Understory vegetation life-form composition were sampled in plots. \<para\> Support for this work was provided by grants BSR-8811902, DEB-9411973, DEB-9705814 , DEB-0080538, DEB-0218039 , DEB-0620910 , DEB-1239764, DEB-1546686, and DEB-1831952 from the National Science Foundation to the University of Puerto Rico as part of the Luquillo Long-Term Ecological Research Program.

Carbon sequestration in riparian forests: a global meta-analysis data set
<p>Data collected for a global meta-analysis of riparian forest biomass and soil carbon stocks. Includes studies estimating the carbon stored in the soil or standing live and dead woody vegetation, or the total biomass of woody vegetation in plots described as "riparian" or "floodplain". Also includes soil carbon metrics for plots considered to be "baseline" plots paired with a riparian plot. Excludes studies focused solely on depressional or tidal wetlands, plots lacking woody vegetation, greenhouse experiments, or those that measured only the biomass or carbon content of individual plants.</p> <p>The data file includes DOIs for all studies included (where available), study area coordinates, descriptions of study plots, vegetation age and soil texture (if known), reported values for woody biomass, biomass carbon stock, soil bulk density, soil carbon concentration, soil carbon stock, and/or soil sampling depth. All field descriptions are provided in the accompanying metadata file.</p>
Riparian bryophyte list of the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1994/1995
The following bryophyte species list compiles habitat information based on the quantitative data collected from 360 samples (2 x 4 m quadrats) distributed among 42 sites within the Andrews Forest. The sites range from 420 m to 1250 m asl stream orders 1 to 5. The list comprises 131 taxa, 84 mosses and 47 hepatics. Many of the species were however infrequent and thus detailed and objective accounts of their habitat demands are difficult to provide. The data is specific for the studied sites but may serve as an indication of the general habitat demands of the species within the western Cascades and to some extent for riparian zones in the Coastal Mountain Range. Voucher specimens have been deposited at the herbaria Oregon State University and UME, Sweden.
Riparian zone seedling establishment, growth, dynamics, and the influence of Rhododendron maximum soil moisture: forest floor data at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory from 1997 to 2000
The effect of Rhododendron maximum, a dominate species in the riparian zones of the Southern Appalachians, on carbon, water, and nutrients en route to the streams is an ongoing study in the LTER research program at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory. To study seedling establishment, growth, and dynamics in riparian zones one m2 quadrats have been established. There are four sites which include one treatment site, where the rhododendron has been removed from the riparian zone, one hurricane site, where there is extensive disturbance from Hurricane Opal, and two control sites, one upslope from the treatment site and one upstream from the hurricane site. Each of these fours sites have ten randomly located natural regeneration one m2 quadrats as well as four randomly located replicates of three adjacent one m2 quadrats. In each of the three adjacent quadrats, the litter was removed from the lower half to determine the effect of litter on the germination and growth of seedlings. Two of the adjacent quadrats have been broadcast seeded with Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, and Quercus rubra. In one of the two quadrats that have been broadcast seeded, a predator exclusion mesh screen, 1m x 1/2m with " openings, has been installed in the quadrat to determine the effect of small mammal predation on regeneration. Quadrats were installed on 24 April 1997 and an initial vegetation survey was conducted in May 1997. All seedlings were permanently tagged at this time and quadrat physical characteristics such as slope, aspect, and distance from stream were recorded. Broadcast seeding was done on 21 May 1997. Each year censuses will be conducted in spring and fall on each quadrat and seedling species, density, age, and annual height growth will be recorded. This project will help to document the effect of Rhododendron maximum on regeneration in the riparian areas as well as the effect of hurricane disturbance on regeneration.

Fig. 3 in Changes in soil moisture and riparian forest structure after a dam construction
Fig. 3. Major changes that drives the community changes. Before river diversion, the sectors near the river had greater basal areas because they had many thick trees while distant sectors had thin trees (the density was statistically similar). After four years of river diversion, there were many trunks of still alive trees and dead trees in the sector closer to the river. Even with high growth, the basal area in this sector was severely reduced and became similar to the distant sector (which already has small basal area).
