Genetic diversity and stand structure of neighboring white willow (Salix alba L.) populations along fragmented riparian corridors: a case study
TL;DR: The magnitude of genetic diversity within each of the stands and genetic differentiation between them suggest that these stands are dynamic and capable of adaptive responses to possible changes in their fluvial environment, however, the factors influencing genetic diversity should be interpreted from a long-term perspective.

Response of channel dynamics to recent meander neck cut-off in a lowland meandering river with artificial training history: the Morava River, Czech Republic

TL;DR: In this paper, one-decade long observations of post-cutoff channel development and oxbow lake formation are presented to offer insight into the morphological response of the Morava River to neck cutoff (during spring flood, 2006).

Evaluation of Restoration and Flow Interactions on River Structure and Function: Channel Widening of the Thur River, Switzerland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the ecosystem effects of river widening to improve sediment relations in the Thur River, Switzerland, 12 years after implementation, and found that spatio-temporal variation in sediment respiration and macroinvertebrate taxonomic richness were driven by interactions between restoration and flow.

Geometric properties of river cross sections and associated hydrodynamic implications in Wuhan-Jiujiang river reach, the Yangtze River
TL;DR: Based on measured hydrological data by using ship-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) instrument, this paper analyzed shapes of river cross sections of the middle Yangtze River basin (mainly focusing on Makou and Tianjiazhen river reach).

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.

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.

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.
