The significance of riparian vegetation on river flow and material transport is not in dispute.
Conveyance laws, sediment erosion and deposition, and element cycling must all be …

The Palaeozoic evolution of land plants revolutionized river geomorphology. However, the
relationships between biotic forcing and channel dynamics are still debated and, as such …

Establishing the timescale of early land plant evolution is essential for testing hypotheses on
the coevolution of land plants and Earth's System. The sparseness of early land plant …

The evolutionary emergence of land plant body plans transformed the planet. However, our
understanding of this formative episode is mired in the uncertainty associated with the …

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

INTRODUCTION Remote observational data suggest that large bodies of standing water
existed on the surface of Mars in its early history. This would have required a much wetter …

Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

Channel networks are key to coastal wetland functioning and resilience under climate
change. Vegetation affects sediment and hydrodynamics in many different ways, which calls …

Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

The long-term diversification of the biosphere responds to changes in the physical
environment. Yet, over the continents, the nearly monotonic expansion of life started later in …
