Although changes in depth to groundwater occur naturally, anthropogenic alterations may
exacerbate these fluctuations and, thus, affect vegetation reliant on groundwater. These …

River damming has dramatic environmental impacts and while changes due to reservoir
flooding are immediate, downstream impacts are more spatially extensive. Downstream …

Riverine ecosystems are governed by patterns of temporal variation in river flows. This
dynamism will change due to climate change and the near-ubiquitous human control of river …

This book describes the underlying water conditions and geologies that support viable
riparia, illustrates the ecological characteristics of riparia, and discusses how riparia are …

This paper describes the 'recruitment box,'an integrative model that defines the stream stage
patterns that enable successful establishment of riparian cottonwood seedlings. In western …

Recent research has emphasized the importance of riparian ecosystems as centers of
biodiversity and links between terrestrial and aquatic systems. Riparian ecosystems also …

Riparian vegetation composition, structure and abundance are governed to a large degree
by river flow regime and flow‐mediated fluvial processes. Streamflow regime exerts …

1. Exposed riverine sediments are difficult substrata for seedling establishment because of
extremes in the microclimate, poor soil conditions and frequent habitat turnover. Various …

Riparian vegetation is affected by both flood processes and the characteristics of landforms
that are shaped by floods. In many instances, species occurrence can be linked directly to …

The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because
of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and …
