River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

Large wood (LW) elements transported during large floods are long known to have the
capacity to induce dangerous obstructions along the channel network, mostly at bridges and …

This paper introduces this special issue of Aquatic Sciences. It outlines a multi-scale,
hierarchical framework for develo** process-based understanding of catchment to reach …

Geomorphic units are the elementary spatial physical features of the river mosaic at the
reach scale that are nested within the overall hydromorphological structure of a river and its …

Resilience in river ecosystems requires that organisms must persist in the face of highly
dynamic hydrological and geomorphological variations. Disturbance events such as floods …

Truths of the Riverscape refer to the use of geomorphological principles to inform
sustainable approaches to nature-based river management. Across much of the world a …

Sediment transport (bedload and suspension) plays a relevant role in the morphological
response of river channels to large floods. Sediment load controls erosion and aggradation …

Hydromorphological stream assessment has significantly expanded over the last years, but
a need has emerged from recent reviews for more comprehensive, process-based methods …

Sediment transport in mountain streams occurs through different flow types that are
categorized in accordance with hydraulics and physical properties of a flowing material, and …

In an era of big‐data acquisition and semiautomation of geomorphic river surveys, it is timely
to consider how to better integrate this into existing and widely used conceptual frameworks …
