Riparian vegetation is a central component of the hydrosystem. As such, it is often subject to
management practices that aim to influence its ecological, hydraulic or hydrological …

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are now recognized to support specific
freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem services and represent approximately half of the …

River flows are greatly influenced by floodplain vegetation with implications on hydrological
and hydraulic conditions from cross-sectional to river reach scales. Flow models need to …

New sustainable, cost-effective solutions are urgently needed for river management since
conventional practices have posed serious ecological threats on streams, rivers and the …

Abstract Systems dominated by heterogeneity over a multiplicity of scales, like porous
media, still challenge our modeling efforts. The presence of disparate length-and time …

Riparian shrubs and trees present a complex, seasonally variable morphology, with flexible
stems and leaves efficiently adapting to the flow forcing (reconfiguration). The aim of this …

We explore the ability of anisotropic permeable substrates to reduce turbulent skin friction,
studying the influence that these substrates have on the overlying turbulence. For this, we …

Hydraulic modelling of natural floodplain vegetation using leaf area index (LAI) has been
applied successfully for non-submerged conditions whereas its suitability for submerged …

Vegetative windbreaks have a significant advantage in regulating microclimates and
improving soil conditions. Some studies highlight the importance of turbulence and plant …

Flexible canopy flows are often encountered in natural scenarios, eg when crops sway in the
wind or when submerged kelp forests are agitated by marine currents. Here, we provide a …
