Riparian ecosystems in the south-western United States have undergone extensive physical
and biological changes, due, in part, to alteration of natural flow regimes and suppression of …

Cottonwoods (Populus spp.) are adapted to ripar-ian or floodplain zones throughout the
Northern Hemisphere; they are also used as parents for fast-growing hybrid poplars. We …

Integrated, process‐based numerical models in hydrology are rapidly evolving, spurred by
novel theories in mathematical physics, advances in computational methods, insights from …

Recent research has emphasized the importance of riparian ecosystems as centers of
biodiversity and links between terrestrial and aquatic systems. Riparian ecosystems also …

Riparian vegetation composition, structure and abundance are governed to a large degree
by river flow regime and flow‐mediated fluvial processes. Streamflow regime exerts …

The call for more effective integration of science and decision making is ubiquitous in
environmental management. While scientists often complain that their input is ignored by …

Riparian vegetation in dry regions is influenced by low‐flow and high‐flow components of
the surface and groundwater flow regimes. The duration of no‐flow periods in the surface …

Hydropower is often presented as a clean and renewable energy source that is
environmentally preferable to fossil fuels or nuclear power. Hydropower production …

In many regions around the world, groundwater is the key source of water for some
vegetation species, and its availability and dynamics can define vegetation composition and …

Successful environmental flow prescriptions require an accurate understanding of the
linkages among flow events, geomorphic processes and biotic responses. We describe …
