* Concern about future supplies of fresh water to society, to meet the full range of human needs, now comes very high on the priority list of global societal issues. An overarching issue, which this book addresses, is whether global climate change is a dominant driver of change in the structure and function of all natural water-based ecosystems, or whether direct human population growth and accelerated consumption are playing an equal or greater role.

* This book divides the whole aquatic realm into 21 ecosystems, from those on land (both saline and fresh water) to those of the open and deep oceans. It draws on the understanding of leading ecologists to summarize the state and likely condition by the year 2025 of each of the ecosystems. *

1.Introduction/ 2.Geography, disturbance regime and dynamics of sediments in riparian zone/ 3.Riparian community/ 4.Riparian forests in headwater stream/ 5.Riparian forests on wide alluvial fan/ 6.Riparian forests in lowland regions/ 7.Riparian forests in wetland/ 8.Species diversity of riparian forests/ 9.Endangered species and its conservation/ 10.Conclusion/ Subject Index/

* Riparian forests along streams and rivers are diverse in species, structure, and regeneration processes, and have important ecological functions in maintaining landscape and biodiversity.

* This book discusses riparian forests from subpolar to warm-temperate zones, covering headwater streams, braided rivers on alluvial fans, and low-gradient meandering rivers. It presents the dynamics and mechanisms that govern the coexistence of riparian tree species, tree demography, the response to water stress of trees, and the conservation of endangered species, and focuses on natural disturbances, life-history strategies, and the ecophysiology of trees. *
