Riparian zones are the areas that border streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. They can be floodplains, streamside forests, or just plain streambanks. They are usually different from surrounding lands because they have unique soil and vegetation characteristics and are strongly influenced by water. 3, record 1, English, - riparian%20zone
