Riparian vegetation and channel width data for analysis of 'disrupted geomorphic and biotic stream connectivity in paraglacial regions'

These data show (1) riparian vegetation inventories and (2) remote geomorphic characterization of reaches along two stream systems: Bjurbäcken and Hjuksån in northern Sweden. The riparian vegetation shows presence/absence data of all vascular plants along the riparian zones in each reach where a new process domain (rapid, flats, lake) starts. The geomorphic characterization includes the following metrics at 50 m intervals downstream along the mainstem of the two stream systems: channel width, drainage area, distance from upstream lake, and surficial geology type. For one of the catchments, some reaches did not have a surficial geology type classified at the reach location (or was 'water'); for these, a separate classification was done 750 m from the reach point.
