Worldwide, shallow slope failure is a problem causing environmental and economic
damage. Vegetation plays an important role for the stabilization of slopes. Accordingly …

Shallow slope instability poses a significant ecological threat, often leading to severe
environmental degradation. While vegetation, particularly woody plants, is commonly …

Meandering channels with highly sinuous and distorted bends have developed along the
middle and lower reaches of the Tarim River in northwestern China. Riverbanks composed …

Abstract For years, Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) has been suspected of
accelerating riverbank erosion, despite a lack of convincing evidence. The stems of this …

Rivers have an intricate relationship with the vegetation that colonizes them. Riparian plants,
capable of thriving within river corridors, both respond to and influence geomorphology. Yet …

The outer bank slump blocks play a fundamental role in modulating the rate of bank erosion,
and consequently, have a profound influence on many geomorphic and ecologic processes …

The July 2021 flood heavily affected many inhabitants, buildings and critical infrastructure
throughout Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Specifically, the Ahr Valley (Germany) …

In the present study, a physical model of a meandering river with the slo** bank was used
to assess the effects of rigid vegetation on flow velocity distribution and bed scouring at the …

The quartzite rock outcrops and the native vegetation of grasslands located at the Serra da
Calçada Mountain in Minas Gerais State (Brazil) have been severely degraded by extreme …

Stream Channel (SC) erosion results in immense soil and nutrient losses and eutrophication
of downstream lakes and rivers. Among other factors, the lack of vegetation cover within SCs …
