This study examined the patterns of plant functional trait variation in relation to geomorphology, disturbance and a suite of other environmental factors in the riparian margin of the Upper Hunter River, New South Wales, Australia.... more
Over the past 35 years, a trend of decreasing water clarity has been documented in Lake Tahoe, attributable in part to the delivery of fine grained sediment emanating from upland and channel erosion. A recent study showed that the Upper... more
Riparian vegetation and management of surface water, the case of the Inaouène-Wadi watershed (NW Morocco). Integrated management of water resources interfere, directly or indirectly, with the biodiversity conservation. In Morocco, most... more
Riparian vegetation performs important ecosystem functions, since it maintains regional biodiversity and provides a range of environmental services. However, anthropogenic activity, land use type, and edge effects are factors that modify... more
A modular procedure to assess the magnitude, distribution, and potential for channel instabilities at a large number of sites has been designed and implemented. The procedure, based on diagnostic interdisciplinary criteria of alluvial... more
Main channel and floodplain vegetation generally influence the flow behaviour in the flooding rivers or compound channels. The hydraulics of vegetated compound channels is complex and still not fully understood. The aim of the research... more
Includes only chapter 1 and 7, see other chapters main page. Rivers have distinctive channel patterns such as multi-channel braiding and single-channel meandering. Why these different river patterns emerge is only qualitatively... more
Resumen.- El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los cambios ecológicos operados en la cuenca del Río Cruz del Eje, mediante la interpretación de la historia socioeconómica, la escala antropológica, como evidencia de los cambios en el... more
We present a regional land-use history of the Palouse bioregion of southeastern Washington and west-central Idaho. Our objectives were to develop a history of European-American settlement and biological diversity in the region and use... more
Rivers are conduits for materials and energy; this, the frequent and intense disturbances that these systems experience, and their narrow, linear nature, create problems for conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the... more
The Białowieża Primeval Forest (BPF) is the only forest area in temperate Europe where forest communities have developed a natural stand structure and a natural distribution of coarse woody debris ((CWD)=standing dead trees (SDT)+down... more
Die Trinkwassergewinnung stellt nicht nur eine extensive Form der Landnutzung dar, sie ist auch mit Restriktionen hinsichtlich des landwirtschaftlichen Einsatzes von Dünge- und Pflanzenschutzmitteln innerhalb der Schutzgebietszone... more
