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 …

Tracing the scientific trajectory of riparian vegetation studies: Main topics, approaches and needs in a globally changing world

S Dufour, PM Rodríguez-González, M Laslier - Science of the total …, 2019 - Elsevier
Riparian vegetation is a crucial component of fluvial systems and serves multiple socio-

Advances on modelling riparian vegetation—hydromorphology interactions

L Solari, M Van Oorschot, B Belletti… - River Research and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Riparian vegetation actively interacts with fluvial systems affecting river hydrodynamics,
morphodynamics and groundwater. These interactions can be coupled because both …

Effect of river flow fluctuations on riparian vegetation dynamics: Processes and models

R Vesipa, C Camporeale, L Ridolfi - Advances in Water Resources, 2017 - Elsevier
Several decades of field observations, laboratory experiments and mathematical modelings
have demonstrated that the riparian environment is a disturbance-driven ecosystem, and …

Interactions between vegetation and river morphodynamics. Part II: Why is a functional trait framework important?

D Corenblit, H Piégay, F Arrignon… - Earth-Science …, 2024 - Elsevier
The structure and function of riparian ecosystems generally result from feedbacks between
plant dynamics and fluvial processes and landforms, ie, river morphodynamics. Taxonomic …

On the value of surface saturated area dynamics mapped with thermal infrared imagery for modeling the hillslope‐riparian‐stream continuum

B Glaser, J Klaus, S Frei, J Frentress… - Water Resources …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

When does vegetation establish on gravel bars? Observations and modeling in the Alpine Rhine river

F Caponi, A Koch, W Bertoldi, DF Vetsch… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Predicting when riparian vegetation establishes on river bars is crucial to estimate how
morphology and ecology of gravel bed rivers respond to anthropogenic or climatic changes …

Reducing river regulation effects on riparian vegetation using flushing flow regimes

R Rivaes, PM Rodríguez-González, A Albuquerque… - Ecological …, 2015 - Elsevier
One of the most salient causes of the degradation of freshwater systems is the physical
habitat changes attributed to river damming. Environmental flows reduce such degradation …

Modeling the evolution of riparian woodlands facing climate change in three European rivers with contrasting flow regimes
