Anthropogenic stresses on the world's big rivers
The world's big rivers and their floodplains were central to development of civilization and
are now home to c. 2.7 billion people. They are economically vital whilst also constituting …

A review on bank retreat: Mechanisms, observations, and modeling
Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

Distinct patterns of interaction between vegetation and morphodynamics
Dynamic interaction between river morphodynamics and vegetation affects river channel
patterns and populations of riparian species. A range of numerical models exists to …

Resilience of river deltas in the Anthropocene
At a global scale, delta morphologies are subject to rapid change as a result of direct and
indirect effects of human activity. This jeopardizes the ecosystem services of deltas …

Advances on modelling riparian vegetation—hydromorphology interactions
Riparian vegetation actively interacts with fluvial systems affecting river hydrodynamics,
morphodynamics and groundwater. These interactions can be coupled because both …

Critical dependence of morphodynamic models of fluvial and tidal systems on empirical downslope sediment transport
The morphological development of fluvial and tidal systems is forecast more and more
frequently by models in scientific and engineering studies for decision making regarding …

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 …

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 …

Tidal sand bar dimensions and shapes in estuaries
Estuaries show dynamic patterns of channels and bars, which are also valuable habitats,
while channels provide access to harbours. In contrast with bars in rivers, we still lack …

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 …
