For at least two centuries, the lateral mobility of the meandering reaches of the Cher River
(France) has been very low. This article aims to identify the main causes of this behavior …

River restoration is a key-issue for European hydrosystems that were modified over
centuries by human activities. This is particularly true for numerous low energy rivers flowing …

Fluvial engineering works such as weirs, rip-rap, groynes, and dykes have constrained for
decades and more the lateral mobility of rivers, one of the key drivers of aquatic and riparian …

We conduct a critical review of the literature on river morphology and deposits in order to
identify advances made and pending questions in our understanding of gravel bed river …

Palaeomeanders are characteristic features of meandering river floodplains. Some were
abandoned several millennia ago and can be used as evidence for past fluvial patterns …

Many authors have shown that the sedimentology of former channels and subsequent
vegetation changes are controlled by temporal (flood events and successional processes) …

A large number of rivers in Tuscany have channel planforms, which are neither straight nor
what is usually understood as meandering. In the typical case, they consist of an almost …

Bank erosion is a key geomorphological mechanism in the fluvial ecosystems of piedmont
and mountain floodplains, since it regulates the diversity of habitats, species and vegetal …

The rehabilitation of degraded river channels is often guided by assumptions of continuity,
yet in response to spatial and temporal variations in controlling conditions rivers typically …

Meander bends of many large, sand‐bed meandering rivers are partitioned by chute
channels that convey permanent flow, and co‐exist with the mainstem for decades. As a first …
