[HTML][HTML] Improving river hydromorphological assessment through better integration of riparian vegetation: Scientific evidence and guidelines
River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

Multiscale flow-vegetation-sediment feedbacks in low-gradient landscapes
Abstract Low-gradient fluvial landscapes (1–50 cm km− 1) occupy diverse settings (inland,
tidal, and deltaic wetlands, large-river floodplains, lowland streams) but share many …

[HTML][HTML] Do salt marshes survive sea level rise? Modelling wave action, morphodynamics and vegetation dynamics
This paper aims to fundamentally assess the resilience of salt marsh-mudflat systems under
sea level rise. We applied an open-source schematized 2D area model (Delft3D) that …

Mangrove removal exacerbates estuarine infilling through landscape-scale bio-morphodynamic feedbacks
Abstract Changes in upstream land-use have significantly transformed downstream coastal
ecosystems around the globe. Restoration of coastal ecosystems often focuses on local …

Promoting fluvial geomorphology to “live with rivers” in the Anthropocene Era
Is geomorphology at the forefront of river management? The aims of this article are to
explore potential answers to this question in terms of role, barriers, motivation and prospects …

Implications of coastal conditions and sea‐level rise on mangrove vulnerability: a bio‐morphodynamic modeling study
Mangrove forests are valuable coastal ecosystems that have been shown to persist on
muddy intertidal flats through bio‐morphodynamic feedbacks. However, the role of coastal …

Combined effects of climate change and dam construction on riverine ecosystems
River morphology and riparian vegetation continuously adapt to changing discharge
conditions, which makes it a challenge to distinguish long-term development driven by …

Dam reservoir backwater as a field-scale laboratory of human-induced changes in river biogeomorphology: A review focused on gravel-bed rivers
Only in the years 2007–2016 about 8000 large dams were constructed all over the world,
adding to> 50,000 previously built dams. These structures disturb abiotic and biotic …

Salt marsh establishment and eco‐engineering effects in dynamic estuaries determined by species growth and mortality
Growth conditions and eco‐engineering effects of vegetation on local conditions in coastal
environments have been extensively studied. However, interactions between salt marsh …

Effects of mud supply on large-scale estuary morphology and development over centuries to millennia
Alluvial river estuaries consist largely of sand but are typically flanked by mudflats and salt
marshes. The analogy with meandering rivers that are kept narrower than braided rivers by …
