Fluvial levees in compound channels: a review on formation processes and the impact of bedforms and vegetation

T Branß, F Núñez-González, J Aberle - Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - Springer
Natural levees are wedge-shaped morphological features developing along the boundaries
of mass flows. When they form in fluvial landscapes, they can have multiple implications for …

Mangrove removal exacerbates estuarine infilling through landscape-scale bio-morphodynamic feedbacks

D Xie, C Schwarz, MG Kleinhans, KR Bryan… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Changes in upstream land-use have significantly transformed downstream coastal
ecosystems around the globe. Restoration of coastal ecosystems often focuses on local …

Implications of coastal conditions and sea‐level rise on mangrove vulnerability: a bio‐morphodynamic modeling study

D Xie, C Schwarz, MG Kleinhans… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Mangrove forests are valuable coastal ecosystems that have been shown to persist on
muddy intertidal flats through bio‐morphodynamic feedbacks. However, the role of coastal …

Vegetation reconfigures barrier coasts and affects tidal basin infilling under sea level rise

M Boechat Albernaz, MZM Brückner… - Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Worldwide, many tidal basins associated with barrier coasts have infilled over the past
millennia due to the combination of sediment supply, wave‐tidal sediment transport, and eco …

Tidal dissipation morphodynamic feedback triggers loss of microtidal marshes

SM Zapp, G Mariotti - Geology, 2024 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Coastal marsh loss is commonly attributed to changes in external forcings, such as an
increase in sea-level rise rate or a reduction in sediment supply. Here we show that …

Discharge determines avulsion regime in model experiments with vegetated and unvegetated deltas

R Lauzon, AB Murray - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The dynamics and morphological evolution of deltas and their channel networks involve
interactions between many factors, including water and sediment discharge and cohesion …

Vegetation and peat accumulation steer Holocene tidal–fluvial basin filling and overbank sedimentation along the Old Rhine River, The Netherlands

HJ Pierik, JIM Moree, KM van der Werf… - …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
In the transformation from tidal systems to freshwater coastal landscapes, plants act as eco‐
engineering species that reduce hydrodynamics and trap sediment, but nature and timing of …

Dense vegetation hinders sediment transport toward saltmarsh interiors

O Gourgue, JP Belliard, Y Xu… - Limnology and …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
To save saltmarshes and their valuable ecosystem services from sea level rise, it is crucial to
understand their natural ability to gain elevation by sediment accretion. In that context, a …

[HTML][HTML] Linking levee-building processes with channel avulsion: geomorphic analysis for assessing avulsion frequency and channel reoccupation

J Han, W Kim - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 - esurf.copernicus.org
A natural levee is a typical wedge-shaped deposit adjacent to a river channel. Given its
location and distinctive features, the levee can serve as a key to revealing depositional …
