Plants growing within river corridors both affect and respond to fluvial processes. Their
above‐ground biomass modifies the flow field and retains sediment, whereas their below …

Large wood is an important physical component of woodland rivers and significantly
influences river morphology. It is also a key component of stream ecosystems. However …

Connectivity describes the degree to which matter and organisms can move among spatially
defined units in a natural system. River connectivity is typically described in longitudinal …

Until recently, one-way relationships between flow dynamics, geomorphology and plant
ecology were considered dominantly when studying the functioning of river systems …

A 'floodplain large-wood cycle'is hypothesized as a mechanism for generating landforms
and influencing river dynamics in ways that structure and maintain riparian and aquatic …

Legacies are persistent changes in natural systems resulting from human activities.
Legacies that affect river ecosystems can result from human alterations outside of the river …

Research on the coupling of soil, vegetation, and hydrological processes is not only a
research hotspot in disciplines such as pedology, ecohydrology and Earth system science …

Fluvial landscapes diversified markedly over the 250 million years between the Cambrian
and Pennsylvanian periods. The diversification occurred in tandem with the evolution of …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

Large wood along rivers influences entrainment, transport, and storage of mineral sediment
and particulate organic matter. We review how wood alters sediment dynamics and explore …
