Riparian corridors in Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are resource-rich
habitats within water-limited, larger landscapes. However, little is known about how their …

1. The hypothesis was tested that intermediate connectivity to a river results in propagule
inputs to wetlands, whereas excessive connectivity impedes recruitment, and insufficient …

Most research before 1960 into interactions among fluvial processes, resulting landforms,
and vegetation was descriptive. Since then, however, research has become more detailed …

As regards river restoration, it is fundamental to better link human pressures and
environmental responses and to take into consideration not only target species or habitat but …

Abstract Along the Magra River (Central–Northern Italy), human control at the local-scale
appears to be the main driving factor of morphological changes observed since WWII. Our …

Riparian vegetation distribution patterns and diversity relative to various fluvial geomorphic
channel patterns, landforms, and processes are described and interpreted for selected rivers …

Many authors have shown that the sedimentology of former channels and subsequent
vegetation changes are controlled by temporal (flood events and successional processes) …

The sustainable conservation of diversity in riverine wetlands implies knowledge of the basic
geomorphological and ecological processes that inter play at the landscape scale. Eight …

In the second half of the 19th century, channelization of large multi-thread rivers such as the
Rhine, the Danube, and the Rhône rivers induced artificial disconnection of most of their …

The system concept, increasingly used in environmental sciences during the last three
decades to link physical, chemical, and biotic processes, has had an important inXuence on …
