Natural vs anthropogenic streams in Europe: History, ecology and implications for restoration, river-rewilding and riverine ecosystem services
Abstract In Europe and North America the prevailing model of “natural” lowland streams is
incised-meandering channels with silt-clay floodplains, and this is the typical template for …

Is the hyporheic zone relevant beyond the scientific community?
Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic
zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding …

Contributions of Quaternary botany to modern ecology and biogeography
HJB Birks - Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

The current state of the use of large wood in river restoration and management
Trees fall naturally into rivers generating flow heterogeneity, inducing geomorphological
features, and creating habitats for biota. Wood is increasingly used in restoration projects …

A simple model predicts how warming simplifies wild food webs
Warming increases the metabolic demand of consumers, strengthening their feeding
interactions. This could alter energy fluxes,–and even amplify extinction rates within the food …

Capturing the multiple benefits associated with nature‐based solutions: Lessons from a natural flood management project in the C otswolds, UK
Following severe flooding in 2007, a decision was taken in 2012 to explore nature‐based
solutions in 250‐km2 river catchment in the southern Cotswolds in the United Kingdom. The …
