The issue of eutrophication of water bodies has attracted worldwide attention. Ecological
restoration is a promising method to prevent and control eutrophic water bodies. Submerged …

Plants growing within river corridors both affect and respond to fluvial processes. Their
above‐ground biomass modifies the flow field and retains sediment, whereas their below …

The fluvial riparian and aquatic patch mosaic varies along rivers according to
geomorphological setting, hydrological regime, sediment supply and surface–groundwater …

Vegetation creates a complicated system of feedbacks and linkages across the fluvial
system that is realized through river planform shape. Interactions occur among flow …

Excess fine sediment, comprising particles< 2 mm in diameter, is a major cause of
ecological degradation in rivers. The erosion of fine sediment from terrestrial or aquatic …

Abstract Low-gradient fluvial landscapes (1–50 cm km− 1) occupy diverse settings (inland,
tidal, and deltaic wetlands, large-river floodplains, lowland streams) but share many …

The integrated effects of water flow on submerged macrophytes (Vallisneria natans) and leaf
biofilms were comprehensively investigated in eutrophic microcosm. Changes in aquatic …

Macrophytes in running waters experience an often dynamic and harsh environment. To
avoid breakage, plants have to reduce the experienced drag force. However, by reducing …

Decades of interdisciplinary research show river form and function depends on interactions
between the living and nonliving world, but a dominant paradigm underlying ecogeomorphic …

Benthic primary producers (BPP) in inland waters, including aquatic macrophytes and
periphyton, are foundational habitats that are highly sensitive to multiple human drivers of …
