Plants live in constantly moving fluid, whether air or water. In response to the loads
associated with fluid motion, plants bend and twist, often with great amplitude. These large …

Observations of plant‐flow interactions on salt marshes have revealed a highly complex
process dominated by the tightly coupled effects of plant characteristics and hydrodynamic …

River flows are greatly influenced by floodplain vegetation with implications on hydrological
and hydraulic conditions from cross-sectional to river reach scales. Flow models need to …

Drainage channels are a widespread component of agricultural and urbanized lowland
landscapes. Management of instream and riparian vegetation along drainage channels …

Both the foliage and stem essentially influence the flow resistance of woody plants, but their
different biomechanical properties complicate the parameterization of foliated vegetation for …

Flow and sediment regimes shape alluvial river channels; yet the influence of these abiotic
drivers can be strongly mediated by biotic factors such as the size and density of riparian …

Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes
containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the …

The strength of interactions between plants and river processes is mediated by plant traits
and fluvial conditions, including above‐ground biomass, stem density and flexibility, channel …

The functional trait framework, an ecological tool powerful for its simplicity and ability to
facilitate modeling and generalization across environmental gradients, can capture the …

Scour and uprooting during flood events is a major disturbance agent that affects plant
mortality rates and subsequent vegetation composition and density, setting the trajectory of …
