Shedding light on Mapungubwe’s disappearing riverine forest

Abstract

Riparian vegetation Riparian vegetation is roughly described as the vegetation that hugs waterways such as rivers. Because rivers flow through a variety of landscapes the vegetation itself varies greatly, but in general, the different types are unified by the fact that they are in the way of waterthirsty developments such as agriculture, and suffer the consequences once water is abstracted upstream. As a result, already scarce riparian vegetation has become endangered.
