We propose a conceptual model of vegetation–hydrogeomorphology interactions and
feedbacks within river corridors (ie river channels and their floodplains) that builds on …

Until recently, one-way relationships between flow dynamics, geomorphology and plant
ecology were considered dominantly when studying the functioning of river systems …

The fluvial riparian and aquatic patch mosaic varies along rivers according to
geomorphological setting, hydrological regime, sediment supply and surface–groundwater …

Plants growing within river corridors both affect and respond to fluvial processes. Their
above‐ground biomass modifies the flow field and retains sediment, whereas their below …

Riparian vegetation and hydrogeomorphic processes are intimately connected parts of
upland catchment and fan environments. Trees, shrubs and grasses and hydrogeomorphic …

River ecological functioning can be conceptualized according to a four‐dimensional
framework, based on the responses of aquatic and riparian communities to …

We propose an integrated, heuristic model of lotic biocomplexity across spatiotemporal
scales from headwaters to large rivers. This riverine ecosystem synthesis (RES) provides a …

Vegetation creates a complicated system of feedbacks and linkages across the fluvial
system that is realized through river planform shape. Interactions occur among flow …

1. The dynamics of channel migration and floodplain renewal constitute an important control
of the ecological diversity of river corridors. Restoration initiatives should therefore assess …

Riparian vegetation actively interacts with fluvial systems affecting river hydrodynamics,
morphodynamics and groundwater. These interactions can be coupled because both …
