Plants as river system engineers

A Gurnell - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Plants growing within river corridors both affect and respond to fluvial processes. Their
above‐ground biomass modifies the flow field and retains sediment, whereas their below …

A conceptual model of vegetation–hydrogeomorphology interactions within river corridors

AM Gurnell, D Corenblit… - River research and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a conceptual model of vegetation–hydrogeomorphology interactions and
feedbacks within river corridors (ie river channels and their floodplains) that builds on …

Palaeozoic landscapes shaped by plant evolution

MR Gibling, NS Davies - Nature Geoscience, 2012 - nature.com
Fluvial landscapes diversified markedly over the 250 million years between the Cambrian
and Pennsylvanian periods. The diversification occurred in tandem with the evolution of …

Effects of deposited wood on biocomplexity of river corridors

A Gurnell, K Tockner, P Edwards… - Frontiers in Ecology and …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Under natural conditions, most rivers are bordered by riparian woodland. Many studies have
highlighted the ecological importance of these wooded zones, but the impact of riparian …

[LIBRO][B] Rivers in the Landscape

E Wohl - 2020 - books.google.com
Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Effects of hydromorphological impacts on river ecosystem functioning: a review and suggestions for assessing ecological impacts

A Elosegi, S Sabater - Hydrobiologia, 2013 - Springer
Because of the serious effects of pollution on water supply much closer attention has been
paid to water quality than to other aspects of river integrity. However, channel form and water …

The landscape ecology of rivers: from patch-based to spatial network analyses

T Erős, WH Lowe - Current Landscape Ecology Reports, 2019 - Springer
Abstract Purpose of Review We synthesize recent methodological and conceptual advances
in the field of riverscape ecology, emphasizing areas of synergy with current research in …

River flood plains are model ecosystems to test general hydrogeomorphic and ecological concepts

K Tockner, MS Lorang… - River research and …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
A major challenge in ecology is to link patterns and processes across different spatial and
temporal scales. Flood plains are ideal model ecosystems to study (i) the processes that …
