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 …

Naturally induced longitudinal disconnectivity in the form of channel-spanning logjams
creates backwaters along headwater streams that reduce velocity and transport capacity …

Floodplain–river ecosystems are natural fragmented systems because of periodic
hydrological connections. The integrity of these ecosystems is thought to be dependent, in …

Abstract The Indian Sundarban Delta (ISD) situated on the western tide-dominated part of
the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta, was formed by the sedimentation of the river …

The need to sustain the ecological values of rivers is widely recognised and embraced in
policy and legislation. Here we examine a widely used approach for evaluating effects of …

By changing riparian plants from Eucalypts to pasture and exotic deciduous trees, modern
development has altered the type of carbon assimilated by Australian rivers. To investigate …

Two data sources, field‐collected samples and values in the NRCS SSURGO database,
were used to estimate organic carbon concentration (%) and stock (Mg C/ha) in floodplain …

Rivers are complex systems. The breadth and scope of research into fluvial geomorphology
for the two-year period between July 2001 and July 2003 is evidence of this. It is also …

Several studies of temporary floodplain wetlands suggest that flood history is important to
microcrustacean egg bank composition and hatching responses. However, these studies …

Fluvial eco-geomorphology seeks to link the physical form and processes of rivers with
ecological responses by adopting an ecosystem perspective in research and management …
