Abstract

The riparian plants had an effects and affected by the geomorphology of the river, it's have a crucial impact in the control of  the river geomorphology and the changes in its properties and its dynamics  operations, so in this research divided the kinds of the riparian plants, and statement of its positive, negative impacts  on the banks, and discussed the relationship between them and the amount of discharge in the Diyala river course in the study area, and then discuss the relationship of the riparian plants and their impact on banks of river morphology and finally talking about the impact of human activity on the natural vegetation of the banks and their impacts in the study area.
