Temporary rivers and streams are among the most common and most hydrologically
dynamic freshwater ecosystems. The number of temporary rivers and the severity of flow …

River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

This book describes the underlying water conditions and geologies that support viable
riparia, illustrates the ecological characteristics of riparia, and discusses how riparia are …

Droughts are a major hazard to both natural and human-dominated environments and
those, especially of long duration and high intensity, can be highly damaging and leave long …

The responses of Populus euphratica Oliv. plants to soil water deficit were assessed by
analyzing gene expression, protein profiles, and several plant performance criteria to …

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 …

Rivers that do not flow year-round are the predominant type of running waters on Earth.
Despite a burgeoning literature on natural flow intermittence (NFI), knowledge about the …

River damming has dramatic environmental impacts and while changes due to reservoir
flooding are immediate, downstream impacts are more spatially extensive. Downstream …

In the past, the phrase 'environmental allocations of water'has most often been taken to
mean allocation of water to rivers. However, it is now accepted that groundwater-dependent …

Riparian ecosystems, already greatly altered by water management, land development, and
biological invasion, are being further altered by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations …
