River restoration is one of the most prominent areas of applied water‐resources science.
From an initial focus on enhancing fish habitat or river appearance, primarily through …

The rivers of the world are undergoing accelerated change in the Anthropocene, and need
to be managed at much broader spatial and temporal scales than before. Fluvial remote …

Connectivity describes the efficiency of material transfer between geomorphic system
components such as hillslopes and rivers or longitudinal segments within a river network …

Water and sediment inputs are fundamental drivers of river ecosystems, but river
management tends to emphasize flow regime at the expense of sediment regime. In an effort …

The concept of the sediment delivery problem was introduced into the literature in 1983 by
Des Walling. This concept describes how only a fraction of sediment eroded within a …

Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important
functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans …

Biogenic features such as beaver dams, large wood, and live vegetation are essential to the
maintenance of complex stream ecosystems, but these features are largely absent from …

Rivers are significant geomorphological agents, they show an amazing diversity of form and
behaviour and transfer water and sediment from the land surface to the oceans. This book …

Until recently, one-way relationships between flow dynamics, geomorphology and plant
ecology were considered dominantly when studying the functioning of river systems …

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 …
