Excerpt from Riparian Habitats and Recreation: Interrelationships and Impacts in the Southwest and Rocky Mountain RegionEcologists in the eastern United States tend to be more restrictive than those in the more arid west in the use of the term riparian. Many eastern biologists would restrict the definition of riparian areas to the habitats closely paralleling bottomlands, floodplains, or first terraces along flowing streams. Authorities in the more arid sections of the West commonly extend the use of the term to include banks of arroyos which may flow only a few days each year at best, and even to desert oases. Most water sources, whether surface or ground water near the surface, in desert areas will have associated riparian vegetative assemblages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
