Sediment is one of the most common causes of stream impairment. Great progress has been
made in understanding the processes of soil erosion due to surface runoff and incorporating …

Over the past 10 years the Rosgen classification system and its associated methods of
“natural channel design” have become synonymous to some with the term “stream …

Riparian vegetation strips are widely used by river managers to increase streambank
stability, among other purposes. However, though the effects of vegetation on bank stability …

Recent research has suggested that the roots of riparian vegetation dramatically increase
the geomechanical stability (ie, factor of safety) of stream banks. Past research has used a …

Bank erosion is integral to the functioning of river ecosystems. It is a geomorphic process
that promotes riparian vegetation succession and creates dynamic habitats crucial for …

Riparian vegetation exerts a number of mechanical and hydrologic controls on bank
stability, which can affect the delivery of sediment to channels. Estimates of root …

Riparian vegetation has a number of effects on the mechanisms by which streambanks fail,
some positive and some negative. Previous research has shown that the effect of …

River Channel Management is the first book to deal comprehensively with recent revolutions
in river channel management. It explores the multi-disciplinary nature of river channel …

A numerical model of river morphology for meander bends with erodible cohesive banks is
herein developed and tested. The new model has three key features. First, it couples a two …

Accelerated streambank erosion is a major cause of non-point source pollution associated
with increased sediment supply. A quantitative prediction of streambank erosion rate …
