The significance of riparian vegetation on river flow and material transport is not in dispute.
Conveyance laws, sediment erosion and deposition, and element cycling must all be …

A feedback between seagrass presence, suspended sediment and benthic light can induce
bistability between two ecosystem states: one where the presence of seagrass reduces …

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 …

The interaction between flow and vegetation creates feedbacks to deposition that vary with
channel velocity. This experimental study describes how channel velocity and stem …

The flow around submerged canopy patches with finite sizes plays a critical role in the
sediment deposition and vegetation evolution. In this study, the submerged canopy patch …

Riparian vegetation actively interacts with fluvial systems affecting river hydrodynamics,
morphodynamics and groundwater. These interactions can be coupled because both …

This study achieved three goals to clarify the impact of a vegetation patch on flow adjustment
and velocity. First, a valid equation for the interior adjustment distance (L d) inside a model …

Laboratory experiments examined the longitudinal evolution of near‐bed velocity, turbulent
kinetic energy (TKE), and net deposition in a model Phragmites australis canopy occupying …

River restoration projects often involve vegetation planting to retain sediment and stabilize
riverbanks. Laboratory experiments have explored the impact of rigid emergent vegetation …

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 …
