River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

Floodplain forests offer a diversity of habitats and resources for a very wide range of plant
and animal species. They also offer many benefits to humankind and are considered …

Riparian zone is an ecotone between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, where soil
aggregate stability is fundamental in supporting ecosystem functions and associated …

Many rivers across the globe are regulated by dams, resulting in a strong alteration of the
plant community composition of the drawdown zone. But, how these changes happen along …

Riparian areas are unique ecosystems and ecotones that provide many ecosystem services.
Their importance is even larger in dryland areas because of the water scarcity conditions …

The strength of interactions between plants and river processes is mediated by plant traits
and fluvial conditions, including above‐ground biomass, stem density and flexibility, channel …

Plant communities and dynamics can be characterized according to species composition or
plant traits. Here, we used species composition and plant traits to compare their …

The structure and function of riparian ecosystems generally result from feedbacks between
plant dynamics and fluvial processes and landforms, ie, river morphodynamics. Taxonomic …

The response of riparian vegetation to flow regulation has been a research focus for
decades. Several studies have shed light on the effects of flow stabilisation on riparian …

Riparian zones are species-rich and functionally important ecotones that sustain physical,
chemical and ecological balance of ecosystems. While scientific, governmental and public …
