TL;DR: This analysis highlights that there is great potential to enhance assessment schemes through strategic design of monitoring networks and innovation, such as earth observation, and further integrate with other sectoral policies.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identified 10 key challenges for riparian vegetation science and management improvement: (1) Create a distinct scientific community by establishing stronger bridges between disciplines; (2) Make nature more visible and appreciated in society and policies; (3) improve knowledge regarding biodiversity; (4) Manage spatial scale and context-based issues; (5) Improve knowledge on social dimensions of nature; (6) Anticipate responses to emergent issues and future trajectories; (7) Enhance tools to quantify and prioritize ecosystem services; (8) improve numerical modeling and simulation tools; (9) Calibrate methods and increase data availability for better indicators and monitoring practices and transferability; and (10) Undertake scientific validation of best management practices.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide five key policy messages and recommendations to be considered by policy-makers, scientists, managers, and stakeholders to enhance riparian zone management, adopting an integrated socio-economic and environmentally dynamic view will ensure the sustainable management of riparian zones.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors collected and analyzed detailed monitoring data on a sandy, hydromorphologically active, and monsoon-driven river in Korea and showed a rapid bio-geomorphic alteration triggered by the shifts in flow regime in a river primed by human-induced changes.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that the Naeseongcheon watershed was primed by human-induced changes, which made the river system more susceptible to changes in rainfall and discharge due to climate change.
