Review highlights the effects of riparian vegetation on hydrological processes and future research needs.

This review examines the impacts of riparian vegetation on hydrological processes and identifies research and management gaps.
Reviewed three distinct influences of riparian vegetation on hydrological processes: runoff control, water uptake, and water quality improvement.
Discussed hydraulic interactions during baseflows and overbank flows from vegetational structures.
Highlighted the need for research on the coupling of microbial and vegetational functions in nutrient cycling.
Riparian vegetation significantly influences runoff through complex hydraulic interactions.
The uptake and return of water to the atmosphere remain poorly understood for riparian communities.
Coupling of microbial and vegetational functions in nutrient cycling presents unresolved research challenges.

Tabacchi et al. (2000) studied this question.
