Most river restoration projects have applied relatively small-scale measures focused on improving specific instream conditions, with only limited outcomes for biodiversity in rivers and their adjacent riparian habitats. Here, we investigate the effects of both small- and large-scale restoration projects on floodplain vegetation across 20 European catchments. We focused on the roles of different restoration...
Riparian zones are especially dynamic due to occasional river floods that provide powerful physical disturbances. Northern Hemisphere riparian woodlands are often dominated by cottonwoods, and studies in semi-arid ecoregions have indicated associations between flood events and cottonwood colonization. Here, we investigated the association between a major flood and cottonwood recruitment along a mountain...
Abrasion is a significant disturbing force to which the streambed epilithic biota is exposed during high flow periods. However, abrasion of biota in the field has not been measured, and effects of abrasion on biota are usually inferred. We describe a method that quantifies abrasion of a standardised substrate in the field. This provides an index of the level of abrasion to which flora and fauna are...
