Climate change and river regulation are negatively impacting riparian vegetation. To
evaluate these impacts, process‐based models are preferred over data‐driven approaches …

Mediterranean regions are characterized by a large intra‐annual and inter‐annual variability
in rainfall and associated hydrological regime patterns. Predictions of changes in climate …

Global circulation models forecasts indicate a future temperature and rainfall pattern
modification worldwide. Such phenomena will become particularly evident in Europe where …

Climate change is expected to alter temperatures and precipitation patterns, affecting river
flows and hence riparian corridors. In this context we have explored the potential evolution …

Most large rivers in Europe and North America suffered flow regulations and channelization
in the 19th and 20th century. To study the effects of the altered site conditions on the …

During the last decades public awareness of the limitations of traditional engineering
practices and the imperative to conserve nature have led to changes in river management; …

Many riparian ecosystems in European temperate regions have lost their inherent, highly
dynamic character due to human-induced impacts such as river channelization and flow …

The prediction of the morphological evolution of renaturalized streams is important for the
success of restoration projects. Riparian vegetation is a key component of the riverine …

Riparian ecosystems are required to be preserved to achieve a good ecological status. The
Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) specifically supports the assessment of new …

Field, laboratory, and numerical modelling research are increasingly demonstrating the
potential of riparian tree colonization and growth to influence fluvial dynamics and the …
