Channel Responses to Global Change and Local Impacts: Perspectives and Tools for Floodplain Management, Ebro River and Tributaries, NE Spain
TL;DR: In this article, the Ebro River and its tributaries (Aragon, Gallego and Cinca rivers) are analyzed and morphological changes (incision, narrowing, simplification) and progressive reduction of channel migration and reduced presence of sediment bars are presented.

Temporal-spatial changes about the landscape pattern of water system and their relationship with food and energy in a mega city in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors studied the temporal-spatial changes in the water system pattern in a mega city, along with the driving forces, especially the nexus to rice production and energy, and the ensuing series of environmental impacts.

Legacy sediments in a European context: The example of infrastructure-induced sediments on the Rhône River
TL;DR: The concept of legacy sediments, introduced in the early 2010s, is increasingly common to refer to sediment produced in watersheds within a limited period by anthropogenic disturbances as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary production and richness of native and non-native macroinvertebrates are driven by human-altered shoreline morphology in a large river
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of common shoreline engineering structures (off-bankline revetment, rip rap and wing dike) on richness, biomass and secondary production of native and non-native macroinvertebrates in the navigation channel and near-shore habitats in the Elbe River (Germany).
Book ChapterDOI
The Italian Rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the Po River, which forms the largest Italian plain and covers ∼24% of Italy, and describe other Alpine rivers described in the chapter include the Adige, the second longest Italian river, the Tagliamento, and the Brenta River.

PROFILE: Hungry Water: Effects of Dams and Gravel Mining on River Channels
TL;DR: Management of sand and gravel in rivers must be done on a regional basis, restoring the continuity of sediment transport where possible and encouraging alternatives to river-derived aggregate sources.

Downstream effects of dams on alluvial rivers.
G.P. Williams,M.G. Wolman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe changes in mean channel-bed elevation, channel width, bed-material sizes, vegetation, water discharges, and sediment loads downstream from 21 dams constructed on alluvial rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of channel response in disturbed alluvial channels
TL;DR: In this article, the adjustment of channel geometry and phases of channel evolution are characterized by six process-oriented stages of morphologic development, premodified, constructed, degradation, threshold, aggradation, and restabilization.

Riparian vegetation and island formation along the gravel‐bed Fiume Tagliamento, Italy
Angela M. Gurnell,Geoffrey E. Petts,David M. Hannah,Barnaby P.G. Smith,Peter J. Edwards,Johannes Kollmann,James V. Ward,Klement Tockner +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model of island development is proposed which integrates the interactions between large woody debris and vegetation, geomorphic features, sediment calibre and hydrological regime.
