Riparian habitat assessment methods aim to identify, survey and assess riparian habitat conditions of rivers and streams. They are mainly applied at a local/reach scale, and generally to the overall river corridor, but focussing on vegetation characteristics. We reviewed 14 methods in total (5 for European countries and 9 for non-European countries).
