Streamflow duration is used to differentiate reaches into discrete classes (eg, perennial,
intermittent, and ephemeral) for water resource management. Because the depiction of the …

Stream channels in the American Southwest are misunderstood because they have been
understudied and overgeneralized. This misunderstanding has serious consequences for …

The construction of dams has caused riparian habitat degradation and ecosystem service
loss globally. It is critical to assess the response of riparian plant communities to inundation …

In riverine ecosystems, human‐induced stressors related to flow regulation and bank
stabilisation have accumulated over time. The restoration of these highly anthropised …

Land use and climate changes are driving significant shifts in the magnitude and
persistence of dryland stream surface flows. The impact of these shifts on ecological …

Previous syntheses of the hydrologic, geomorphic and biotic functions of floodplains have
largely integrated research conducted along perennial stream networks, despite a growing …

Riparian ecosystems are shaped by interactions among streamflow, plants, and physical
processes. Sustaining functioning riparian ecosystems in the face of climate change …

Aims In riverine ecosystems, variations in disturbance and stress intensities along the flood
gradient shape vegetation community structure. However, human modifications to the flood …

Riparian ecosystems occupy land-water interfaces along upland-to-lowland and coastal
gradients of river networks. Global changes in riparian vegetation alter the types and …

Vegetation can have a particularly strong effect on hydraulics and processes in dryland,
ephemeral channels, where plants often occupy the channel bed. To understand the …
