Table 1. (Continued)
Land use type Revetment type Characteristics of riparian zone Typical scenarios
Hard revetment Width of 2 – 5 m; a waterfront platform or
stepped entrance to the water forms a dock;
some have planting pools with shrubs or trees

(Shantang Village)
R6 – Ecological land Soft revetment The slope length is about 3 – 5 m, and some
boundary riparian zone exceed 5 m. The slope surface is natural with a
slope of 30° – 45°, dominated by a combination
of trees and ground cover plants

(Beiguan Village)
R7 – Green space Soft revetment Slope length ranges from 3 ‒ 5 m, with a natural
boundary riparian zone slope surface and a gradient between 30° and
45°. The vegetation consists mainly of trees and
understory plants
