Several decades of field observations, laboratory experiments and mathematical modelings
have demonstrated that the riparian environment is a disturbance-driven ecosystem, and …

The alteration of river flow regimes by dams, weirs, and water extraction is a key impact of
humans on freshwater ecosystems and has occurred in rivers across all inhabited continents …

The monomodal flood pulse of major Amazonian rivers is a seasonal phenomenon that
determines ecological and biogeochemical processes in adjacent floodplain forests. River …

Large dams and their removal can profoundly affect riparian ecosystems by altering flow and
sediment regimes, hydrochory, and landform dynamics, yet few studies have documented …

River ecosystems have become fragile due to river flow alterations in the wake of expending
structural controls triggered by the ever-increasing demands of freshwater. The efforts to …

Most studies assessing vegetation response following control of invasive Tamarix trees
along southwestern US rivers have been small in scale (eg, river reach), or at a regional …

On alluvial rivers, fluvial landforms and riparian vegetation communities codevelop as a
result of feedbacks between plants and abiotic processes. The influence of vegetation on …

Abstract The Colorado River delta is a dramatically transformed landscape. Major changes
to river hydrology and morpho-dynamics began following completion of Hoover Dam in …

Stream restoration practitioners and researchers have devoted a great deal of effort in recent
decades to developing extensive guidance for stream restoration. The available resources …

Tools that provide decision makers with an understanding of ecosystem response to
