Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of
propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory …

Hydropeaking refers to frequent, rapid and short‐term fluctuations in water flow and water
levels downstream and upstream of hydropower stations. Such fluctuations are becoming …

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

In this review, we first summarize how hydrologic connectivity has been studied for riverine
fish capable of moving long distances, and then identify research opportunities that have …

Using daily discharge data from the USGS, we analyzed how hydrologic regimes vary with
land use in four large hydrologic regions that span a gradient of natural land cover and …

Mountain streams are here defined as channel networks within mountainous regions of the
world. This definition encompasses tremendous diversity of physical and biological …

Rivers continue to be harnessed to meet humanity's growing demands for electricity, water,
and flood control. While the socioecological impacts of river infrastructure projects (RIPs) …

River network connectivity is a key factor affecting watershed ecosystems and an important
criterion for evaluating the health of river. The river network structure of the basin has …

Riparian vegetation is exposed to stress from inundation and hydraulic disturbance, and is
often rich in native and alien plant species. We describe 35 traits that enable plants to cope …

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 …
