Optimizing environmental flows below dams
XA Yin, ZF Yang, GE Petts - River research and applications, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The protection of riverine ecosystems downstream from dams requires reservoir operations
to satisfy environmental flow (e‐flow) requirements. In practice, this often involves re …

Measurement of foliar H2O2 concentration can be an indicator of riparian vegetation management
Riparian vegetation is frequently exposed to abiotic stress, which generates reactive oxygen
species (ROS) caused by strong differences in a river's hydrological conditions. Among …

The impacts of sediment released from dams on downstream sediment bar vegetation
Sediment has been released from the dams of many rivers throughout the world to keep
reservoirs operational. This huge flux of sediment resulted in deposition in downstream …

Coupled hydrogeomorphic and woody‐seedling responses to controlled flood releases in a dryland river
AC Wilcox, PB Shafroth - Water Resources Research, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Interactions among flow, geomorphic processes, and riparian vegetation can strongly
influence both channel form and vegetation communities. To investigate such interactions …

Tree colonization trends on a sediment bar after a major flood
Tree mortality and regeneration in riparian areas are greatly influenced by flooding. The
elevational distribution of Salix spp. and Robinia pseudoacacia were investigated by …

Spatial and temporal tree colonization in a midstream sediment bar and the mechanisms governing tree mortality during a flood event
Reduced disturbances in regulated rivers can result in stable tree colonisation in
downstream reaches. We examined spatial and temporal tree colonisation on a midstream …

The effect of the shortage of gravel sediment in midstream river channels on riparian vegetation cover
The vegetation cover in the steep, gravelly reaches of rivers was originally low. However,
significant vegetation colonization can currently be observed in these riparian areas, and …

Growth of Phragmites japonica on a sandbar of regulated river: morphological adaptation of the plant to low water and nutrient availability in the substrate
T Asaeda, K Siong, T Kawashima… - River research and …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The construction of upstream dams regulates flood magnitudes, reduces the inundation
frequency of the riparian zones and curtails the discharge of sediments to the downstream …

The role of soil characteristics in the succession of two herbaceous lianas in a modified river floodplain
Abstract The Tamagawa floodplain of Japan experienced a series of changes in the
structure of its plant community after 1960. Today, two dominant lianas–Pueraria lobata and …

Mechanism of riparian vegetation growth and sediment transport interaction in floodplain: A dynamic riparian vegetation model (DRIPVEM) approach
The ecological dynamics of riparian areas interact with sediment transport in river systems,
which plays an active role in riparian vegetation growth in the floodplain. The fluvial …
