Abstract

The composition and structure of riparian vegetation of the Segura, Mundo and Guadalentín Rivers are studied in relation to different topographic and human variables. River Mundo presents the highest species diversity along the course, with values relatively high and nearly constant until its mouth. The Tajo-Segura Transfer reduce its natural summer low-flows and has a beneficia1 effect on the riparian community. Species diversity in Segura and Guadalentín Rivers is lower and decreases from head to the mouth, showing a good correlation with length river and altitud, respectively. Agricultura1 in the the Segura valley and grazing in Guadalentín basin seem to be the main causes degrading riparian ecosystems.
