Bottomland hardwoods are floodplain forests along rivers and streams throughout the
southeastern United States. The interrelations among hydrology, soils, geomorphic …

Dams strongly impair the fluvial environment by altering downstream flows. We analysed
riverscapes downstream of three dams and hypothesized that different dam types in rivers …

Riparian vegetation performs important ecosystems services, improving water quality,
mitigating erosion, and maintaining regional plant and animal biodiversity. Regular annual …

Bottomland hardwood forests (BLH) are found in temperate, humid regions of the
southeastern US, primarily on alluvial floodplains adjacent to rivers. Altered hydrology in …

Rivers are dynamic landscape features that change in response to natural and
anthropogenic factors through hydrological, geomorphic and ecological processes. The …

River regulation by dams modifies flow regimes, interrupts the transfer of sediment through
channel networks, and alters downstream bed dynamics, altogether affecting channel form …

Vegetation is an important component of riparian ecosystems, providing fundamental
habitats for numerous species. Over the past few decades, as more and more large river …

Considering relationships between environmental factors and aquatic ecosystems,
obtaining a clear understanding of river habitat integrity plays a key role in addressing …

Flooding is a defining disturbance in floodplain forests affecting seed germination, seedling
establishment, and tree growth. Globally, flood control, including artificial levees, dams, and …

Small hydropower plants (SHPs) play a crucial role in clean energy production, yet they also
disrupted river ecosystems. To achieve a balance between energy production, biodiversity …
