Literature pertaining to sediment in stream ecosystems is reviewed. Suspended sediment
can alter the water chemistry, and cause temperature decreases and turbidity increases …

Over the last several decades, environmental legislation and a growing awareness of
historical human disturbance to rivers worldwide (Schumm, 1977; Collins et al., 2003; Surian …

A classification of channel-reach morphology in mountain drainage basins synthesizes
stream morphologies into seven distinct reach types: colluvial, bedrock, and five alluvial …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

We define disturbance in stream ecosystems to be: any relatively discrete event in time that
is characterized by a frequency, intensity, and severity outside a predictable range, and that …

Debris floods have been defined descriptively as mineral and organic sediment‐rich floods,
occurring in a steep channel and potentially destabilizing the streambed and banks. While …

Urbanization of a watershed degrades both the form and the function of the downstream
aquatic system, causing changes that can occur rapidly and are very difficult to avoid or …

Rivers are significant geomorphological agents, they show an amazing diversity of form and
behaviour and transfer water and sediment from the land surface to the oceans. This book …

The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water
flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more …

This paper describes the causes and effects of urban-induced changes to the hydrology of a
drainage basin. To understand the cause of change, the hydrologic behavior of the …
