Plants as river system engineers

A Gurnell - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Plants growing within river corridors both affect and respond to fluvial processes. Their
above‐ground biomass modifies the flow field and retains sediment, whereas their below …

Salt marsh dynamics in a period of accelerated sea level rise

S Fagherazzi, G Mariotti, N Leonardi… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

Hydrodynamics of vegetated channels

HM Nepf - Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
This paper highlights some recent trends in vegetation hydrodynamics, focusing on

Effects of vegetation on flow and sediment transport: comparative analyses and validation of predicting models

A Vargas‐Luna, A Crosato… - Earth Surface Processes …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The presence of vegetation modifies flow and sediment transport in alluvial channels and

Recent and historic drivers of landscape change in the Everglades ridge, slough, and tree island mosaic

L Larsen, N Aumen, C Bernhardt, V Engel… - Critical reviews in …, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
More than half of the original Everglades extent formed a patterned peat mosaic of elevated
ridges, lower and more open sloughs, and tree islands aligned parallel to the dominant flow …

Microplastics in a wind farm area: A case study at the Rudong Offshore Wind Farm, Yellow Sea, China

risks of this type of development in terms of emerging pollutants, particularly microplastics, is …

Directional connectivity in hydrology and ecology

LG Larsen, J Choi, MK Nungesser… - Ecological …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Quantifying hydrologic and ecological connectivity has contributed to understanding
transport and dispersal processes and assessing ecosystem degradation or restoration …

How vegetation and sediment transport feedbacks drive landscape change in the Everglades and wetlands worldwide

LG Larsen, JW Harvey - The American Naturalist, 2010 - journals.uchicago.edu
Mechanisms reported to promote landscape self-organization cannot explain vegetation
patterning oriented parallel to flow. Recent catastrophic shifts in Everglades landscape …

The near‐bed flow structure and bed shear stresses within emergent vegetation

M Conde‐Frias, M Ghisalberti, RJ Lowe… - Water Resources …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The structure of the bottom boundary layer (BBL) in aquatic flows influences a range of
biophysical processes, including sediment transport, hyporheic exchange, and biofilm …

Sediment transport and shear stress partitioning in a vegetated flow

C Le Bouteiller, JG Venditti - Water Resources Research, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Vegetation is a common feature in natural coastal and riverine water ways, interacting with
both the water flow and sediment transport. However, the physical processes governing …
