•River vegetation types and distribution patterns: woody and herbaceous •Vegetation benchmarks for quality assessment and restoration •Assessment of ecological integrity using multivariate and multimetric tools
•Invasive plants in river corridors and their profiles of biological attributes •Invasiveness in reference and non-reference sites •Environmental drivers of invasion
•Response of riparian vegetation to regulation •Response of riparian vegetation to channelisation
•Wetland wood types along all the western Iberian Atlantic coast •Structural characteristics within stands •Multi-scale environmental factors determining vegetation and structure
•Influence of different types of land use on riparian woods •Human-related influence close to the river corridor vs. in the river valley •Changes in riparian integrity in 75 years in relation to changes of land use
•Relative influence of riparian and environmental variables on stream functioning •Organic matter processing •Tree foliar isotope signatures
