Vegetation Ecology, Summer 2013. Mountain Research Station, University of Colorado, Boulder. Introduction. Background:. Riparian Area. : An area that has high water content in the soil due to the presence of a water source (ex. lake, stream, glacier). . Vegetation and More. What is “riparian vegetation”?. Plants growing on the streambank and adjoining floodplain. Plants in this area are influenced by the water from the stream. Riparian Zone. Riparian Vegetation Functions.
