Rivers and streams, when fully connected to their floodplains, are naturally resilient systems
that are increasingly part of the conversation on nature‐based climate solutions …

Freshwater megafauna, such as sturgeons, giant catfishes, river dolphins, hippopotami,
crocodylians, large turtles, and giant salamanders, have experienced severe population …

Floodplains provide critical ecosystem services; however, loss of natural floodplain functions
caused by human alterations increase flood risks and lead to massive loss of life and …

Modification of food webs is a frequent cause of shifts in ecosystem states that resist reversal
when the food web is restored to its original condition. We used the restoration of the large …

This review explores the implications of climate change for the functioning of plant species
as biogeomorphic engineers of temperate river systems, including the potential for an …

Floodplains provide numerous ecosystem services that depend on the spatial heterogeneity,
or patchiness, of the floodplain. Direct and indirect human alterations of rivers can reduce …

Flow modification pursuing dams is widely found. Some works also focused on its impact on
floodplain wetland hydrology. However, how this change can pose an impact on habitat …

Ecosystem engineers strongly influence the communities in which they live by modifying
habitats and altering resource availability. These biogenic changes can persist beyond the …

Fine-grained sediments are a natural component of river systems. Human activities generate
additional sources of fine sediment. In mountainous areas, the anthropogenic inputs of fine …

Many areas are experiencing increasing stream temperatures due to climate change, and
some are experiencing reduced summer stream flows and water availability. Because dam …
