Cottonwoods (Populus spp.) are adapted to ripar-ian or floodplain zones throughout the
Northern Hemisphere; they are also used as parents for fast-growing hybrid poplars. We …

Floodplain forests are flood-dependent ecosystems. They rely on well-timed, periodic floods
for the provision of regeneration sites and on tapered flood recession curves for the …

The only reference on the use of GIS and related technologies in terrain analysis In this
landmark publication, reflecting the collaborative effort of thirteen research groups based in …

Riparian Landscapes examines the ecological systems of streamside and floodplain areas
from the perspective of landscape ecology. The specific spatial pattern of riparian vegetation …

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

This book begins with the physical and biological characterization of the four North
American deserts and a description of the primary adaptations of plants to environmental …

Rivers are a popular source of fascination because of their changing moods from headwater
stream to large lowland rivers and from quiet summer brooks to raging flood torrents. The …

Riparian vegetation in dry regions is influenced by low‐flow and high‐flow components of
the surface and groundwater flow regimes. The duration of no‐flow periods in the surface …

Alluvial forest associations are often dominated by woody phreatophytes, plants that are
tightly linked to aquifers for water uptake. Anthropogenic hydrological alterations (eg, water …

The intense demand for river water in arid regions is resulting in widespread changes in
riparian vegetation. We present a direct gradient method to predict the vegetation change …
