In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

The fluvial riparian and aquatic patch mosaic varies along rivers according to
geomorphological setting, hydrological regime, sediment supply and surface–groundwater …

1. In river corridors, water plays a key role in connecting various landscape patches.
Thishydrological connectivity'operates on the four dimensions of fluvial hydrosystems …

Dams impose changes of flow and sediment transfer that drive changes of channel form
along the downstream regulated river. These changes have been described for more than …

1. The landscapes of large floodplain rivers are characterised by heterogeneous
environments related to the interplay of flood flows, sediment transport and vegetation …

This book presents the most comprehensive model yet for describing the structure and
functioning of running freshwater ecosystems. Riverine Ecosystems Synthesis (RES) is a …

Hydrogeomorphic processes within alluvial river systems create, maintain and degrade
riparian habitat. The dynamic interactions between water, sediment, aquatic–terrestrial …

1. The dynamics of channel migration and floodplain renewal constitute an important control
of the ecological diversity of river corridors. Restoration initiatives should therefore assess …

Net nutrient accumulation rates were measured in riverine floodplains of the Atlantic Coastal
Plain in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, USA. The floodplains were located in watersheds …

In this paper we review threshold behaviour in environmental systems, which are often
associated with the onset of floods, contamination and erosion events, and other …
