In freshwater environments, high biodiversity is commonly associated with habitat
heterogeneity. River bends and meanders are particularly complex morphodynamic …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

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 …

The influence of geomorphic change on ecohydraulics has traditionally been difficult to
quantify. With recent improvements in surveying technology, high‐resolution, repeat and …

When dams are built, sedimentation accumulation starts in high-fuzzy; after filling of dead
volume happens, blurring of useful volume, and the efficiency of the reservoir decreases. In …

Geomorphologists have studied and debated over the processes responsible for natural
riffle-pool maintenance for decades. Most studies have focused on small wadable rivers, but …

The importance of interactions among stream hydrology, morphology, and biology is well
recognized in studies of stream ecosystems. However, when quantifying the impacts of …

We investigated how channel morphology, flow complexity, and habitat characteristics in a
meandering gravel bed river evolved over time from a simple, reconfigured initial condition …

Riffle pools are fundamental units of many gravel bed rivers. Considerable debate exists as
to an appropriate hydrodynamic model for this bed form type. Sampling designs in previous …

This chapter deals with hydraulic modelling for predicting flow properties used in
ecohydraulics, in its broader sense, which encompasses aquatic habitat modelling …
