Influence of wildfire severity on riparian plant community heterogeneity in an Idaho, USA wilderness
Despite the increasing recognition of riparian zones as important ecotones that link terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and of fire as a critical natural disturbance, much remains unknown regarding the influence of fire on stream-riparian ecosystems…
