New paper on Ecosystem Services Provided by Riparian Vegetation

The COST Action CONVERGES provides an overview of ecosystem services provided by riparian vegetation by adopting a structured approach to identify the ecosystem services, describe their characteristics, and rank the importance of each service ; the paper is available see here

New review article available: remote sensing of riparian vegetation

A systematic review on the remote sensing of riparian vegetation and its relevance for riparian managers has just been published in the journal of environmental management !

The article is available on ScienceDirect: Huylenbroeck, L., Laslier, M., Dufour, S., Georges, B., Lejeune, P., & Michez, A. (2020).

The COST CONVERGES Action aims to establish a baseline in the state of knowledge regarding riparian vegetation and ecosystems. It is a network created to coordinate research efforts, to contribute to knowledge conversion between countries and actors (scientists, managers, policy makers, etc.) and to promote practitioners research interests in the scientific community.
