Fifty years of hyporheic zone research have shown the important role played by the
hyporheic zone as an interface between groundwater and surface waters. However, it is only …

Vegetation creates a complicated system of feedbacks and linkages across the fluvial
system that is realized through river planform shape. Interactions occur among flow …

In this chapter, the authors aim to uncover the organizational principles–the main drivers
and controls, and their interactions and feedbacks–that determine the development and …

Nonlinear threshold responses to biotic or abiotic forcing may produce multiple population
trajectories dependent upon initial conditions, which can reinforce population recovery or …

The use of multiphysics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches to simulate surface–
subsurface flow processes is evaluated by comparison with flume experiments on current …

Molecular diffusion, dispersion, and turbulent diffusion can all contribute to the transport of
mass across the sediment‐water interface (SWI). Flow observations across the SWI are …

Physical modeling of canopy‐flow interactions has mostly employed rigid model vegetation,
whereby the canopy geometry (ie, its height and frontal area) is invariant and easily …

Benthic organisms and their bioturbation activities have a profound effect on a multitude of
sediment properties. While many studies have already explored benthic impacts at small …

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a prominent ecosystem engineer, whose reefs
exhibit strikingly consistent morphologies at multiple spatial scales throughout its North …

The turbulence characteristics in flow over and within the interface of two-dimensional dunes
are investigated experimentally. Besides the spatial flow and turbulence quantities, their …
