Large floodplain-river ecosystems are often highly modified to provide services that society
desires, yet these modifications can limit an ecosystem's ability to adapt to changing …

Shifts in the frequency and intensity of high discharge events due to climate change may
have important consequences for the hydrology and biogeochemistry of rivers. However, our …

As anthropogenic influences push ecosystems past tipping points and into new regimes,
complex management decisions are complicated by rapid ecosystem changes that may be …

Winters are changing rapidly across the globe but the implications for aquatic productivity
and food webs are not well understood. In addition, the degree to which winter dynamics in …

Abstract Smallmouth buffalo (Ictiobus bubalus Rafinesque) are a large-bodied fish highly

Simulation models are often used to identify hydrologic regimes suitable for different riparian
or floodplain tree species. However, most existing models pay little attention to forest …

Aquatic systems worldwide can exist in multiple ecosystem states (ie, a recurring collection
of biological and chemical attributes), and effectively characterizing multidimensionality will …

Spatial information on the distribution of ecosystem patterns and processes can be a critical
component of designing and implementing effective management programs in river …

Side channels in large floodplain rivers serve a variety of important ecological roles,
particularly in reaches where habitat conditions have been degraded or diminished. We …

The forest stand typically represents relatively homogenous forest conditions; the forest
stand is generally the unit at which forest attributes are assessed, summarized, and …
