Riparian Forest
![公共森林/自然区域: Natural Reserve, National Parks, Regional Parks, other parks and public forests, even private land that has been set aside for conservation. Balance your emphasis of forests with parklands to discourage the over-use of natural areas. 公共森林/自然区域](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_73.gif)
![水上景观: Display or drinking fountain, beautiful waterfall or natural pond. May simply celebrate water or offer a refreshing drink in an ecologically sound way. 水上景观](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_63.gif)
![湿地: May be on an official protection list, as wetlands are important habitats and useful for water cleaning and protection from storm surges. May be natural, reconstructed or artificial. 湿地](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_64.gif)
![自然走廊/绿色通道: Often follows along a river or streambed, ravine or steep hill, disused rail bed or roadway. May indicate a wildlife corridor for land animals that is left in a natural state, with native plants to shelter them. Often have paths for running, cycling, skating, etc. 自然走廊/绿色通道](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_66.gif)
![地理景观: Where unusual or typical forms are apparent in the landscape. May be exposed rock layers, glacial till or a chasm view. Includes significant open space, prairie, desert, etc. May include an important mountain or other significant natural landmark. 地理景观](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_67.gif)
![生态设计/规划景观: Exciting design features including public transport stations, plazas, integrated native plantings and street furniture such as kiosks, benches, fountains, or lighting that use materials and energy efficiently, contributing to the streetscape. May be an area planned for ecological soundness or use sustainable infrastructure guidelines. 生态设计/规划景观](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_68.gif)

RIPARIAN FOREST
A riparian forest is a natural buffer between civilization/land and natural rivers, lakes, wetlands, or steams. They usually consist of "trees, shrubs and grass plantings that are managed to enhance and protect aquatic resources from adverse impacts from the management of adjacent lands" (2012). Riparian forests typically "intercept sediment, nutrients, pesticides and other materials in surface runoff and in shallow subsurface water flow so they don't get into the streams, lakes, or wetlands" (2012). These buffers also have many benefits such as reduced flood damage and increased wildlife. They also help slowdown runoff and infiltrate water (2016). Riparian buffers are also great for "protecting water quality, controlling erosion, and providing food for wildlife" (2010).These buffers are very meticulous as they require strategic placement of crops and good practices such as particular design, installation, and maintenance (2010).
