The Palaeozoic evolution of land plants revolutionized river geomorphology. However, the
relationships between biotic forcing and channel dynamics are still debated and, as such …

Abstract Low-gradient fluvial landscapes (1–50 cm km− 1) occupy diverse settings (inland,
tidal, and deltaic wetlands, large-river floodplains, lowland streams) but share many …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

One of the most dramatic events in river environments is the natural diversion, or avulsion, of
a channel across its floodplain. Though rarely witnessed, avulsions can cause massive …

The morphological development of fluvial and tidal systems is forecast more and more
frequently by models in scientific and engineering studies for decision making regarding …

Growth conditions and eco‐engineering effects of vegetation on local conditions in coastal
environments have been extensively studied. However, interactions between salt marsh …

Meandering planforms are common on rivers but active, rapidly changing meandering
channels are particularly instructive in indicating meander processes and dynamics and can …

The invasion of the land was a complex, protracted process, punctuated by mass extinctions,
that involved multiple routes from marine environments. We integrate paleobiology …

Sediment is the most valuable natural resource for deltaic environments because it is
required to build new land. For land building to occur, sediment must be retained in the delta …

The fate of coastal ecosystems depends on their ability to keep pace with sea-level rise—yet
projections of accretion widely ignore effects of engineering fauna. Here, we quantify effects …
