Talk:Riparian zone

message: i have only seen this in the technical literature as "riparian zone". is this a regional thing?

thread_title: zone or strip

message: this merger is logical. both articles address the same point. riparian is an adjective and should not be the surviving name. i would propose the surviving name be Riparian zone...what do others think? Anlace 20:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First up, I agree that "riparian" is an adjective and should not be the title of the page. Further, to me, a riparian zone is the ecotone (ecological interface) between a water course and land. It makes no assumption about what is actually living there. Does "riparian strip" imply there is a certain quantity of higher plants growing? I don't really use the  term enough to know. If the implication is absent of weak, I agree with the merger, and the final page being "riparian zone". Cheers, Daniel Collins 20:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: merger

message: THE FOLLOWING TALK MATERIAL HAS BEEN COPIED HERE FROM THE ARTICLE Riparian PRIOR TO MERGER OF Riparian INTO Riparian zone:
Most (but not all) of the material in this article should be merged into Riparian strips. A Riparian is the interface between water and land under erosive influences, a Riparian strip it the vegetation in this area. --Duk 00:35, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: copy talk page from [[riparian]] to this page

message: I think separate topics should be separate articles in most cases, but riparian, riparian forest and riparian strips are so close in meaning that doesn't make sense to me to split them off. Anyone else? -- Kjkolb 11:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a problem with merging these articles. My earlier edits involved moving information to the correct articles, not splitting. The different articles already existed.--Duk 01:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other riparian articles 

message: all of the above comments seem reasonable. i would propose to merge first Riparian strips (should be singular!) and Riparian; perhaps more detailed articles could be created later such as Riparian forest, which article can be left alone for now. Anlace 20:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: merger

message: this merger is completed following the general agreement noted above. i have preserved all of the concepts and images. Anlace 18:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: merge completed of [[Riparian]] and [[Riparian strips]] into [[Riparian zone]]

message: i just noticed another article which appears to address the same topic. it is called Riparian buffer zones.  i propose a merger of that article (which only has inlinks from one other article) 
into Riparian zones. it has some useful info and a decent reference list which should survive. what do others think? Anlace 18:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All abaord. It'll be good to have a more direct interface among these themes. Cheers, Daniel Collins 19:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: one loose end (newest merger proposal)

message: To reiterate a previous user's discussion :
There's a typo in the description of this image (Everclades for Everglades) but I (being a newbie) don't know how to get to it to fix it. I'm sure SOMEONE can! --Mpwrmnt 05:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed it. It's an image from Wikimedia Commons, so you had to click the link "its description page there" in the text "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there..." and then edit. Pfly 05:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Riparian Zone Schematic :  Image text needs editing 

message: I'm a riparian ecosystem ecologist. I've been interested to see how many articles revolving around riparian ecology exist: Riparian Zone, Riparian Buffer, Buffer Strip, Riparian Forest (a stub article), Riparian Zone Restoration, and Floodplain. All of these have unique contributions, often with the distinguishing feature being how much emphasis on management there is, or detailing a particular type of riparian ecosystem. What I think is lacking are the uniting themes across different types and functions of riparian ecosystems, as well as a general ecological description: their landscape ecology context, their unique biota and habitat characteristics, disturbance and succession regimes, and ecological functions like their biogeochemistry. There has been a successful effort among ecologists to unite much of the disparity across concepts of riparian zones under the banner of landscape and ecosystem ecology and boundary theory, which I think the existing articles can be well informed by. 
Along these lines, I propose writing a Riparian Ecosystem Ecology article with emphasis on 1) what ecological description is missing from the existing articles and 2) the uniting themes of riparian ecosystems, and linking to these articles if/when there are better/deeper descriptions. Another strategy could be to merge, edit, and add to the existing articles (with the exception of the Riparian zone restoration article, which sits well on its own, and perhaps Buffer strip, which can pertain to structures that are arguably not “riparian ecosystems”) to make one unified article. 
Looks like there has been contention about merging and adding articles in this area before, so I wanted to put it up for discussion before doing anything.

message: Riparian is also the proper nomenclature for one of the fifteen terrestrial biomes of the earth.
Is this true? It's uncited, and I find myself wondering whose system of classification it's referring to. The article at biome presents numerous classification schemes, but I don't see "riparian zone" listed in any of them--though it does appear in the box at the end of that article. 206.208.104.20 (talk) 18:54, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

message: The focus on western riparian-zone plant species' leaves lacking such an overview for eastern species. Can anyone with more knowledge of the topic, fix the article to be more complete? It is a near-draft as is, yet in other sections, it is well-done and complete. SusquehannaMan (talk) 08:20, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
