Riparian zones possess an unusually diverse array of species and environmental
processes. The ecological diversity is related to variable flood regimes, geographically …

Dams impose changes of flow and sediment transfer that drive changes of channel form
along the downstream regulated river. These changes have been described for more than …

Natural flood plains are among the most biologically productive and diverse ecosystems on
earth. Globally, riverine flood plains cover> 2× 106 km2, however, they are among the most …

1. This paper introduces a new approach for setting streamflow‐based river ecosystem
management targets and this method is called the 'Range of Variability Approach'(RVA). The …

Environmental Flows describes the timing, quality, and quantity of water flows required to
sustain freshwater and estuarine ecosystems and the human well-being and livelihoods that …

Many environmental effects of dams are immediate and obvious. For example, dams
obstruct migration pathways for fish, and reservoirs trap waterborne sediment. Other …

Riparian vegetation composition, structure and abundance are governed to a large degree
by river flow regime and flow‐mediated fluvial processes. Streamflow regime exerts …

This research was conducted to identify the factors that have permitted Populus—Salix
woodland to expand into the formerly active channels of the Platte River and its two major …

River damming and flow regulation can alter disturbance and stress regimes that structure
riparian ecosystems. We studied the Bill Williams River in western Arizona, USA, to …

Patterns of habitat use by breeding birds were studied in cottonwood riparian forests along
100 km of the South Fork of the Snake River in southeastern Idaho, United States, from 1991 …
