Prioritizing restoration opportunities effectively across entire riverscape networks (ie, riverine
landscape including floodplain and stream channel networks) can be difficult when relying …

Resilience thinking has many parallels in the study of geomorphology. Similarities and
intersections exist between the scientific discipline of geomorphology and the scientific …

Estuarine wetlands have experienced a variety of ecological and environmental problems
caused by natural and anthropogenic factors. China has proposed a series of measures and …

Many studies of fluvial geomorphology and landscape ecology examine a single river or
landscape, thus lack generality, making it difficult to develop a general understanding of the …

We use the five landscape ecology metrics of aggregation index, percentage of like
adjacencies, interspersion and juxtaposition index, patch density, and Shannon's evenness …

Interactions between fluvial processes and floodplain ecosystems occur upon a floodplain
surface that is often physically complex. Spatial patterns in floodplain topography have only …

Abstract Knowledge of hydrological connectivity and its threshold behaviors plays an
important role in sustaining and managing floodplains; however, threshold behaviors at a …

Spatial data are playing an increasingly important role in watershed science and
management. Large investments have been made by government agencies to provide …

While water resource managers and river scientists recognize the inherent interconnections
among hydrology, river structure, biophysical processes and ecological patterns …

Floodplain surface topography is an important component of floodplain ecosystems. It is the
primary physical template upon which ecosystem processes are acted out, and complexity in …
