Flushing flows are deliberate high-flow releases designed to mimic effects of floods in
removing fine sediment from downstream aquatic habitats. A special case of environmental …

Rivers provide dynamic habitats with ecological niches, particularly in their mobile sand,
gravel, and cobble riverbed patches that create an active hyporheic zone. Natural or artificial …

Conservation management of threatened species requires identifying the landscape
features that shape population structure. Within river ecosystems, the dendritic nature of river …

Fine sediment processes in gravel beds may have significant impacts to overall river
ecosystem function. In addition to gravitational deposition, horizontal intragravel transport …

Sedimentation and clogging (colmation) of interstitial pore spaces with fine sediment
particles is widely considered to be one of the most significant threats to lotic ecosystem …

This chapter reviews the basic principles of sediment transport in streams, channel
classification, mountain channel morphology, and associated implications for fish spawning …

Pulses of fine sediment composed of sand, silt, and clay can be introduced to gravel bed
rivers through runoff from burn‐impacted hillslopes, landslides, bank failure, or the …

Most studies investigating fine sediment ingress in gravel-bed rivers have been conducted
at the laboratory scale, and even fewer have explored the ingress processes of flocculated …

Many taxa possess a range of strategies to reduce the risk of predation, including actively
seeking suitable refuge habitats; however, the global spread of invasive species may disrupt …
