Large wood is an important physical component of woodland rivers and significantly
influences river morphology. It is also a key component of stream ecosystems. However …

Until recently, one-way relationships between flow dynamics, geomorphology and plant
ecology were considered dominantly when studying the functioning of river systems …

While external factors (drivers) determine the net heat energy and water delivered to a
stream, the internal structure of a stream determines how heat and water will be distributed …

1. Large wood forms an important component of woodland river ecosystems. The
relationship between large wood and the physical characteristics of river systems varies …

A rising exposure to flood risk is a predicted consequence of increased development in
vulnerable areas and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events due to climate …

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

Riparian vegetation is a crucial component of fluvial systems and serves multiple socio-
ecological functions. The objective of this review is to follow the scientific trajectory of studies …

A characteristic of beaver ecology is their ability to build dams and, thus, to modify the
landscape to increase its suitability for their occupation. This ability gives beaver great …

Nearly 50 years of research focused on large wood (LW) in rivers provide a basis for
understanding how wood enters rivers; how wood decays, breaks, and is transported …
