Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of carbon storage in mountainous headwater rivers
TL;DR: Estimated organic carbon stored in diverse valley types of headwater rivers in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA shows that low-gradient, broad valley bottoms with old-growth forest or active beaver colonies store the great majority of above- and below-ground carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
The beaver meadow complex revisited – the role of beavers in post-glacial floodplain development
Lina E. Polvi,Ellen Wohl +1 more
TL;DR: This article examined the geomorphic significance of beaver-pond sediment by determining the rates and types of sedimentation since the middle Holocene and the role of beavers in driving floodplain evolution through increased channel complexity and fine sediment deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Riparian and in‐stream restoration of boreal streams and rivers: success or failure?
Christer Nilsson,Lina E. Polvi,Johanna Gardeström,Eliza Maher Hasselquist,Lovisa Lind,Judith M. Sarneel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed follow-up studies from Finnish and Swedish streams that have been restored after timber floating to assess the abiotic and biotic responses to restoration, and concluded that two decades is probably too short a time for most organisms to recover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotic Drivers of Stream Planform Implications for Understanding the Past and Restoring the Future
Lina E. Polvi,Ellen Wohl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of riparian vegetation and channel-spanning obstructions (e.g., beaver dams and logjams) in altering channel-floodplain dynamics in the southern Rocky Mountains is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the functional influence of vegetation type on streambank cohesion
TL;DR: In this paper, root morphology and tensile strength of 14 species common to riparian areas in the southern Rocky Mountains, in field sites along streambanks in the montane and subalpine zones of the Colorado Front Range, were analyzed.
