The study of river‐riparian vegetation interactions is an important and intriguing research
field in geophysics. Vegetation is an active element of the ecological dynamics of a …

The presence of vegetation modifies flow and sediment transport in alluvial channels and
hence the morphological evolution of river systems. Plants increase the local roughness …

Large wood (LW) is an important element in riparian and mountain ecosystems and
influences geomorphic controls, particularly in torrents and mountain rivers. Despite several …

The etymology and historic usage of such terms as 'anabranch','anastamose'and
'braided'within river science are reviewed. Despite several decades of modern research to …

The establishment of riparian pioneer vegetation is of crucial importance within river

Abstract Along the Magra River (Central–Northern Italy), human control at the local-scale
appears to be the main driving factor of morphological changes observed since WWII. Our …

Over the last two decades, the role of vegetation in the environmental and ecological
restoration of surface water bodies has received much attention. In this context, the …

Alpine gravel‐bed rivers are dynamic systems that have been subjected to many anthropic
alterations in the past centuries. Riparian vegetation development on previously bare …

Simulating the morphological adaptation of water systems often requires including the
effects of plants on water and sediment dynamics. Physical and numerical models need …

Riverbank vegetation is of high importance both for preserving the form (morphology) and
function (ecology) of natural river systems. Revegetation of riverbanks is commonly used as …
