1. • Protection from water currents and predators

     • Overhanging vegetation that touches the water surface creates instream cover, offering protection from water currents and predators (Jowett et al. 2009), and may help to maintain cooler temperatures during warmer seasons or heat waves (Broadmeadow et al. 2011).

   How does bank erosion affect riparian habitat?

   • Bank erosion provides a sediment source that creates riparian habitat. Active banks create and maintain diverse structure and habitat functions. Riparian vegetation promotes bank stability and contributes large woody debris. Bank erosion modulates changes in channel morphology and pattern.

   Does continuous woody riparian vegetation maintain bank stability?

   • In the context of environmental and climate change we posit that continuous woody riparian vegetation is significant in maintaining bank stability, constraining lateral channel migration and retaining sediments in addition to its effect in sustaining habitats through shading and cooling rivers.

   Are bank habitat and function inseparable?

   • Bank habitat and function are to some degree inseparable from functions within the larger riparian zone; here we take a broader view of natural banks and bank erosion as they influence riparian areas.

   Why do wetland plants create a natural bank edge?

   • Wetland plants that create a natural bank edge provide protection from erosion, a host of benefits for wildlife and the landscape and enhance the local character. Active planting of recommended species helps bind the bank edge soils together and naturally buffers wave action.

   Why are banks important to flora and fauna?

   • Banks provide habitat at different elevation zones needed by flora and associated fauna adapted to flood pulses rising along the bank (Junk et al. 1989). Habitats along the bank gradient are exposed to various flood frequencies, durations, and magnitudes (NRC 2002, Naiman et al. 2005).

   Is bank erosion a desirable attribute of rivers?

   • River managers and policymakers, however, generally regard bank erosion as a process to be halted or minimized in order to create landscape and economic stability. Here, we recognize bank erosion as a desirable attribute of rivers.

   Feb 1, 2024 · Areas in southern, central and eastern parts of the United Kingdom are likely to experience soil moisture deficits reducing tree growth whilst greater flood magnitude and frequency in northern and western area may result in the frequent removal of riparian vegetation.

   Bankside vegetation grows along the edges of water bodies, including riverbanks (riparian vegetation) and lakes. The removal of this can lead to the degradation of aquatic habitats (Growns et al. 2003). Anguillid eels have been shown to prefer rivers with vegetated banks (Itakura & Wakiya 2020).
