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

Numerical morphological modelling of braided rivers is increasingly used to explore controls
on river pattern and for applied environmental management. This article reviews and …

A series of laboratory experiments demonstrates that riparian vegetation can cause a
braided channel to self‐organize to, and maintain, a dynamic, single‐thread channel. The …

The timing and extent of the morphological changes that occurred in the last 200years in a
large gravel bed river (the Piave River, eastern Italian Alps) that was heavily impacted by …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Previous flume‐based research on braided channels has revealed four classic mechanisms
that produce braiding: central bar development, chute cutoff, lobe dissection, and transverse …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

The aim of this paper is to explore possibilities and limitations of restoring physical
processes in five gravel‐bed rivers (Brenta, Piave, Cellina, Tagliamento and Torre Rivers) in …

Rivers are natural systems whose planform pattern in alluvial reaches reflects a balance
between three fundamental ingredients: flow energy, sediment calibre and supply, and …

Spatial self‐organisation of ecosystems is the process by which large‐scale ordered spatial
patterns emerge from disordered initial conditions through local feedbacks between …
