Kualitas Vegetasi Zona Riparian dengan Menggunakan Index of Riparian Quality di Kawasan Wisata Coban Talun Kota Batu, Jawa-Timur

Abstract

Riparian vegetation on the banks of the river is a plant that grows along the river bank with morphological, physiological and reproductive characteristics that adapt to the humid environment. This region has differences from other regions due to its environment and waters.
