Meandering channels is a vast research field, spanning a broad variety of time and space
scales, environmental domains, and conceptual and methodological approaches. This …

Racetrack flumes are established experimental settings in ecohydraulics and sediment
studies. Their experimental results are often coupled with numerical simulations. The two …

Geomorphic units are the elementary spatial physical features of the river mosaic at the
reach scale that are nested within the overall hydromorphological structure of a river and its …

Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry (ALB) has been rapidly evolving in recent years and now allows
fluvial topography to be mapped in high resolution (> 20 points/m2) and height accuracy (< …

Hydropeaking is one of the main pressures on the aquatic ecology in alpine rivers. Beside
studies on abiotic process and biotic response on the local scale there is a lack in process …

Previous research indicated that high predictive performance in species distribution
modelling can be obtained by combining both biotic and abiotic habitat variables. However …

Hydropeaking leads to artificial fluctuations in discharge and corresponding water levels
with pronounced dewatering areas between base and peak flow along gravel bars and …

This study aimed to set out a new methodology for habitat modeling in high‐gradient
streams. The methodology is based on the mesoscale approach of the MesoHABSIM …

Conserving native biodiversity in the face of human‐and climate‐related impacts is a
challenging and globally important ecological problem that requires an understanding of …

Modelling the linkage between physical habitat and aquatic organisms on multiple spatial
scales has become an important tool in the management of rivers. The mesoscale (100–102 …
