Riparian corridors are often the ecosystem level component most sensitive to changes within the surrounding environment. High levels of variability and heterogeneity commonly characterize plant communities and plant species within riparian corridors. The overall aim of this study was to assess and characterize riparian forest vegetation (trees and shrubs) and its relationship to environmental attributes along three different riparian corridors. The three corridors represented different levels of disturbance. We wanted to determine if and how disturbance level in the riparian corridor, defined by existing land cover, might be influencing patterns of both native and non-native woody vegetation.
