Aim Within fluvial and coastal ecosystems world‐wide, flows of water, wind and sediment
generate a shifting landscape mosaic composed of bare substrate and pioneer and mature …

Since the 1970s there has been a considerable expansion in biogeomorphological research
which considers the complex, two-way relationships between biological, ecological and …

The term “ecosystem engineering” emerged in the 1990s and is commonly used to refer to
the activities of larger organisms like beavers and trees in rivers and streams. The focus on …

Populations of the riparian pioneer species Populus nigra L. which establish on alluvial bars
within river channels modulate sediment dynamics and fluvial landforms. Dense cohorts of …

Active deposition across the floodplains of large rivers arises through a variety of processes;
collectively these are here termed 'spillage sedimentation'. Three groups of 11 spillage …

Policy makers are interested in managing forests to store carbon. Optimizing this strategy
requires understanding how carbon storage varies across environmental gradients. We …

The research objective of this study was to determine whether and to what extent the form of
use of Fluvisols (arable soil and grassland) of a Lower Vistula floodplain valley (Fordonska …

Biogeomorphic succession describes feedbacks between vegetation succession and fluvial
processes that, at the decadal timescale, lead to a transition from bare river‐deposited …

Riparian woodlands have recently been recognized as important carbon (C) storage regions
with a considerable potential of sequestering C to mitigate global warming. Understanding …

Anthropogenic impacts in large rivers are widely studied, but studies of recovery once a
disturbance has stopped are uncommon. This study examines the biogeomorphic recovery …
