Rivers play an important role in people׳ s living and agricultural production, however,
intense human activities have broken the original ecological balance, and affected …

We evaluated nitrogen (N) removal efficiency by riparian buffers at 14 sites scattered
throughout seven European countries subject to a wide range of climatic conditions. The …

The goal of this research was to evaluate the relative effects of root density, freeze/thaw
cycling, and soil properties on the erodibility and critical shear stress of streambanks. The …

We surveyed adjacent reaches with differing riparian vegetation to explain why channels
with forested banks are wider than channels with nonforested banks. Cross sections and …

Despite growing recognition of the importance of a natural flow regime in river-floodplain
systems, researchers struggle to quantify ecosystem responses to altered hydrological …

Scientists have long assumed that the physical structure and condition of stream and river
channels have pervasive effects on biological communities and processes, but specific tests …

While it is recognized that vegetation plays a significant role in stream bank stabilization, the
effects are not fully quantified. The study goal was to determine the type and density of …

Measurements from a fixed‐bed, Froude‐scaled hydraulic model of a stream in northeastern
Vermont demonstrate the importance of forested riparian vegetation effects on near‐bank …

Riparian vegetation is known to affect aquatic macroinvertebrate communities through
contributions of organic matter and shading. Despite the widespread degradation of riparian …

The extent of catchment impervious surface is recognised to be an important factor
associated with the condition of urban freshwater streams. We tested the hypothesis that the …
