Floodplains include unique environments shaped over a long time horizon along rivers and
smaller streams and formed by alluvial sediments. As floodplains are flat, often with highly …

River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

Geomorphic units are the elementary spatial physical features of the river mosaic at the
reach scale that are nested within the overall hydromorphological structure of a river and its …

Aquatic plants fulfil a wide range of ecological roles, and make a substantial contribution to
the structure, function and service provision of aquatic ecosystems. Given their well …

Geoconservation includes the protection of geoheritage features and geosites and the
application of geoconservation principles more generally in the sustainable management of …

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 …

Abstraction, diversion, and storage of flow alter rivers worldwide. In this context, minimum
flow regulations are applied to mitigate adverse impacts and to protect affected river reaches …

A geomorphic unit is a landform that has been created and reworked by a particular set of
earth surface processes. Each geomorphic unit has a particular morphology and sediment …
