The Geul River has a long history of channel straightening and bank protection, but also has
several natural meandering parts. In addition, some formerly 'fixed'or 'protected'stretches of …

Anthropogenically induced siltation has serious effects on micro-habitat diversity and thus
on aquatic organisms in lotic systems. The present study deals with the impact of siltation on …

Abstract Climate, geology, geomorphology, soil, vegetation, geomorphology, hydrology, and
human impact affect river–floodplain systems, especially their sediment load and channel …

Within the coming years, increasing knowledge on the behaviour of rivers and their main
steering factors will be necessary, as future climate change may increase the risk of flooding …

Integrated spatial planning for river rehabilitation requires insight in the geomorphology of
river systems. Procedures are elaborated to implement a functional-geographical approach …

Intensive use of European rivers during the last hundreds of years has led to profound
changes in the physicochemical properties, river morphology, and aquatic faunistic …

In this chapter, the state of the art of the research of fluvial processes and their linkages with
ecology are presented, with a focus on European physical context. European river systems …

Channelisation measures taken halfway the 20th century have had destructive
consequences for the diversity of the ecology in the majority of the lowland streams in …

In this study the occurrence of thresholds in fluvial style changes during the Holocene are
discussed for three different catchments: the Dijle and Amblève catchments (Belgium) and …

Abstract The River Fortun is situated in south‐western Norway and is typical of the fiord
landscape catchments with large areas above 1000 m asl, steep valley walls and an alluvial …
