Vegetation Succession on River Sediments along the Nakdong River, South Korea

What is it about?

Environmental factors in the riverine landscape together form a complex riverine environment and determine the vegetation pattern. Unfortunately, this environment hasbeen largely destroyed by the massive river regulation project, but our results indicate that, under certain conditions, the riverine vegetation has a potential to at least partly recover even after such a large-scale disturbance.

Why is it important?

The most important factors determining the seral vegetation along the Nakdong River in South Korea were the altitudinal gradient and successional age.
