This review aims to determine how environmental characteristics of aquatic habitats rule
species occurrence, life-history traits and community dynamics among aquatic plants, and if …

Floods and droughts are important features of most running water ecosystems, but the
alteration of natural flow regimes by recent human activities, such as dam building, raises …

Understand the current concept of wetland and methods for identifying, describing,
classifying, and delineating wetlands in the United States with Wetland Indicators-capturing …

Biologically mediated modifications of the abiotic environment, also called ecosystem
engineering, can significantly affect a broad range of ecosystems. Nevertheless, remarkably …

Hydropeaking refers to frequent, rapid and short‐term fluctuations in water flow and water
levels downstream and upstream of hydropower stations. Such fluctuations are becoming …

The paper promotes an emerging research area at the interfaces between aquatic ecology,
biomechanics and environmental fluid mechanics. This new area, Hydrodynamics of Aquatic …

From the stems of agricultural crops to the structural trunks of trees, studying the mechanical
behaviour of plant stems is critical for both commerce and science. Plant scientists are also …

Submerged freshwater macrophytes face large hydrodynamic forces in flowing waters in
streams and on wave‐swept lake shores and require morphological adaptations to reduce …

The vegetation, as one of the most important components, plays a key role in the aquatic
environment. This paper reviews recent progress on the complex interaction between the …

One of the services provided by coastal ecosystems is wave attenuation by vegetation, and
subsequent reduction of wave loads on flood defense structures. Therefore, stability of …
