The restoration of riparian plant communities following alien plant clearing in the Western Cape
type: CreativeWork
description: Few of the riparian zones of the Western Cape Province, South Africa, can still be described as 'natural', as many, if not all, have been impacted upon in one way or another. They are, therefore, frequently disturbed environments that are highly susceptible to invasion by alien plants. the vegetation of riparian zones controls the flow of water, nutrients and sediments into streams. Plan communities in these habitats are often rish in species, and serve as corridor facilitating the movement of organisms.
