Land degradation and desertification are widespread across the world's drylands. These
processes are substantially affected by climatic change, with long-term and severe droughts …

The purpose of this study was to assess hydrological controls (eg, rainfall, irrigation
practices, river discharge, dam operation, evaporation) on surface (SW)-ground water (GW) …

The flood pulse is the main driving force influencing river floodplain ecosystems. The
dominant role of the flood pulse on the success of non-native species (NNSs) is what …

Floodplain vegetation is fundamental in fluvial systems, controlling river corridor
geomorphology and ecology through a series of hydraulic, sedimentological, and biological …

Purpose Pinaceae (pine family) trees are native to the Northern Hemisphere and their
invasion into the Southern Hemisphere is a growing problem threatening biological …

Invasion by exotic trees into riparian areas has the potential to impact aquatic systems. We
examined the effects of the exotic Salix fragilis (crack willow) on the structure and functioning …

In recent decades, invasive willows and poplars (Salicaceae) have built dense floodplain
forests along most of the rivers in Patagonia, Argentina. These invasion processes may …

European willows (Salicaceae) are pioneer species in temperate zone floodplains. The
species are considered invasive and introduction can lead to substantial alteration of …

Clonality is a common characteristic of successful invasive species, but general principles
underpinning the success of clonal invaders are not established. A number of mechanisms …

Under predicted climate change scenarios many parts of the world will be hotter. Higher
temperature extremes present significant physiological challenges to ectothermic freshwater …
