摘要: In a review of the role plants in river systems, Gurnell (2014) explains how living riparian vegetation can moderate and manipulate environments by trapping sediment promoting longer-term stability. Although concentrates on perennial humid temperate zone, this commentary acts as reminder that some other kinds fluvial environment do not act way. This is done describing Impatiens glandulifera (Himalayan Balsam), highly invasive annual plant now found many countries three separate continents, may significantly increase soil erosion along riverbanks zone inland watercourses.
