S Dufour, PM Rodríguez-González and M Laslier published a review in Science of The Total Environment:
- Review of the scientific literature revealed great diversity in studies on riparian vegetation
- Consistent topics from the 20th century to the present are related to the components studied, such as the structure of riparian vegetation
- Several topics have undergone substantial recent development, in parallel with general scientific trends (i.e. process-based) or as a result of technological progress (i.e. large-scale modeling and remote sensing)
- Future challenges include better knowledge sharing, integration of the social dimension and multiple pressure sources, and consideration of all geographic contexts
