Flow regulation affects temporal patterns of riverine plant seed dispersal: potential implications for plant recruitment

JOE Greet, RD Cousens, JA Webb - Freshwater Biology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Changes to the natural flow regime of a river caused by flow regulation may affect
waterborne seed dispersal (hydrochory), and this may be an important mechanism by which …

Can the regeneration of vegetation from riparian seed banks support biogeomorphic succession and the geomorphic recovery of degraded river channels?
