Until recently, one-way relationships between flow dynamics, geomorphology and plant
ecology were considered dominantly when studying the functioning of river systems …

Riparian zones are dynamic ecosystems that form at the interface between the aquatic and
terrestrial components of a landscape. They are shaped by complex interactions between …

Rivers self-organize their pattern/planform through feedbacks between bars, channels,
floodplain and vegetation, which emerge as a result of the basic spatial sorting process of …

Dynamic interaction between river morphodynamics and vegetation affects river channel
patterns and populations of riparian species. A range of numerical models exists to …

Braided rivers are relatively simple to produce in the laboratory, whereas dynamic
meandering rivers have not been sustained beyond initial bend formation. Meandering is …

River morphology and riparian vegetation continuously adapt to changing discharge
conditions, which makes it a challenge to distinguish long-term development driven by …

Cohesive floodplain sediment and vegetation are both thought to cause meandering river
patterns. Our aims are to compare the isolated and combined effects of mud and vegetation …

Chute cutoffs reduce sinuosity of meandering rivers and potentially cause a transition from a
single to a multiple channel river. The channel bifurcation of the main channel and the …

Connectivity is a crucial property of the river-floodplain ecosystem. Reduction of connectivity,
fragmentation and isolation effects, impacting ecological functions and biodiversity, is one of …

The ecological efficacy of river restoration projects may change over time, resulting in the
loss of their ecological function for targeted species. The goal of this study was to evaluate …
