Despite the recognition of floodplain importance in the scientific community, floodplains are
not afforded the same legal protection as river channels. In the United States alone, flood …

The role of aquatic and riparian vegetation in driving morphodynamics of rivers is being
increasingly recognized across all river types. Here, we focus on gravel‐bed rivers, where …

Rivers are complex biophysical systems, constantly adjusting to a suite of changing
governing conditions, including vegetation cover within their basins. This review seeks to:(i) …

The lack of watershed-scale estimates of floodplain carbon stocks limits recognition of the
important role of floodplains and river corridor restoration in efforts to enhance carbon …

Large wood (LW) can have significant effects on channel hydraulics by creating hydraulic
resistance that decreases reach-average flow velocity and transport capacity, further …

Coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM; organic matter 1–100 mm in diameter, excluding
small wood) stored in streams provides an important energy source for aquatic ecosystems …

Restoration of an alluvial wet-meadow system was conducted in the late 1990s to
reestablish hydraulic interactions between the river, floodplain, and groundwater to support …

Logjams, in‐channel accumulations of downed wood, play important roles governing
biophysical processes in river ecosystems. In this study conducted in the mountainous …

We used field-based case studies to examine how spatial heterogeneity influences the
response of river corridors to changes in water and sediment fluxes after wildfire. Spatial …

The fate of organic carbon deposited in floodplain sediments is an important control on the
magnitude and direction of the carbon flux from anthropogenically accelerated erosion and …
