The report of 2016–2017 describes riverside forests of the mid-high basin of Tâmega with alders, ash trees and willows, and birch trees in the smaller courses. It mentions often narrow strips, limited by crops. It is a regional description of that study, which covers Cabeceiras and other municipalities.
The margin, the water and the bottom are connected, but offer different conditions.

The scheme allows to explore these general relationships without representing a place where all these species have been observed together.
