Plants as river system engineers
A Gurnell - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Plants growing within river corridors both affect and respond to fluvial processes. Their
above‐ground biomass modifies the flow field and retains sediment, whereas their below …

On the value of surface saturated area dynamics mapped with thermal infrared imagery for modeling the hillslope‐riparian‐stream continuum
The highly dynamic processes within a hillslope‐riparian‐stream (HRS) continuum are
known to affect streamflow generation, but are yet not fully understood. Within this study, we …
