Long-term river management legacies strongly alter riparian forest attributes and constrain restoration strategies along a large, multi-use river.

TL;DR: To enhance the functionality of these human-made ecosystems, restoration strategies should target the reconnection of dike fields to the river by dismantling part of the dikes to promote lateral erosion, forest initiation and community succession, as well as increasing minimum flows in channels to improve connection with groundwater.

Enhancing sediment flux control and natural hazard risk mitigation through a structured conceptual planning approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a structured design workflow is proposed to enhance sediment flux control and hazard risk mitigation in such heavily modified alpine streams, with the overall aim of enhancing sediment flux management and hazard mitigation.

Human impacts on fluvial systems in the Mediterranean region (Invited paper for Binghamton Symposium
TL;DR: The long history of substantial human impacts on the landscape of the Mediterranean region, and their effects on fluvial systems, is documented in this article, where the importance of analysing the connectivity within different land units and of the spatial position of human activity within a catchment is illustrated.

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.
