The meandering #Riverbank providing habitats for riparian vegetation, but the construction of the #ThreeGorgesDam have significantly altered riverbank shapes and #RiparianEcosystems. Xiaohong Li et al. investigated the ecological impacts of #RiverbankCurvature on the structure and assembly process of #PlantCommunities in the riparian zone of the #YangtzeRiver.
