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

This review paper addresses the structure of the mean flow and key turbulence quantities in
free-surface flows with emergent vegetation. Emergent vegetation in open channel flow …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Despite a century of study by ecologists, recovery following disturbances (succession) is not
fully understood. This book provides the first global synthesis that compares plant …

While the scientific community has long recognized that alluvial rivers are the product of
interactions between flowing water and bed material transport, it is increasingly evident that …

Meandering channels with highly sinuous and distorted bends have developed along the
middle and lower reaches of the Tarim River in northwestern China. Riverbanks composed …

The evolution and characteristics of large-scale vortices are critical for understanding
temporal and spatial exchange of mass and momentum. Using a validated depth-averaged …

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 …

Floodplains of meandering rivers are colonized with various plant species that differ in how
they stabilize streambanks, modulating sinuosity evolution. Here, we compile observations …

Riparian vegetation plays a fundamental role in alluvial channel evolution by modifying flow
and sedimentation dynamics. To elucidate the roles of sediment supply, flow‐dependent …
