Classifying streamflow duration: the scientific basis and an operational framework for method development
Streamflow duration is used to differentiate reaches into discrete classes (eg, perennial,
intermittent, and ephemeral) for water resource management. Because the depiction of the …

Dam inundation simplifies the plant community composition
The construction of dams has caused riparian habitat degradation and ecosystem service
loss globally. It is critical to assess the response of riparian plant communities to inundation …

Riparian vegetation as an indicator of stream channel presence and connectivity in arid environments
Stream channels in the American Southwest are misunderstood because they have been
understudied and overgeneralized. This misunderstanding has serious consequences for …

The accumulation of anthropogenic stressors induces a progressive shift in the ecological preferences and morphological traits shared by riparian plant communities
In riverine ecosystems, human‐induced stressors related to flow regulation and bank
stabilisation have accumulated over time. The restoration of these highly anthropised …

Fine‐grained sediment deposition alters the response of plant CSR strategies on the gravel bars of a highly regulated river
Aims In riverine ecosystems, variations in disturbance and stress intensities along the flood
gradient shape vegetation community structure. However, human modifications to the flood …
