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 …

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 …

Water and sediment inputs are fundamental drivers of river ecosystems, but river
management tends to emphasize flow regime at the expense of sediment regime. In an effort …

Arctic regions are disproportionately affected by atmospheric warming, with cascading
effects on multiple surface processes. Atmospheric warming is destabilizing permafrost …

One of the simplest questions in riverine science remains unanswered:“What determines the
width of rivers?” While myriad environmental and geological factors have been proposed to …

The study of river‐riparian vegetation interactions is an important and intriguing research
field in geophysics. Vegetation is an active element of the ecological dynamics of a …

The presence of vegetation modifies flow and sediment transport in alluvial channels and
hence the morphological evolution of river systems. Plants increase the local roughness …

Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio‐deltaic
morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

At a global scale, delta morphologies are subject to rapid change as a result of direct and
indirect effects of human activity. This jeopardizes the ecosystem services of deltas …
