Long Term Hydromorphological Changes in Two Swiss River Floodplains: Analyses of Historical Maps

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems undergo greater changes than even the most affected terrestrial environments, primarily due to human modifications such as river channelization or dam construction. To counteract these impacts, freshwater restoration and re‐naturalization initiatives are being implemented internationally.

Livestock Grazing and Dense Willow Shading Negatively Impact Instream Plant Growth

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human impacts have degraded riverine environments worldwide. In south‐eastern Australia, livestock grazing and non‐native Salix spp. (Willow) infestations throughout riverine environments commonly degrade instream conditions on which instream plants rely. However, the effects of livestock grazing and Salix spp.

Combined Gravel Augmentation and Flood Control Area to Rehabilitate Riverbed Diversification: Lesson From Unexpected Effects of a 30 Years Flood (Upper Rhine)

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation measures are common practices in the context of large, bypassing river reaches, with the aim of mitigating the adverse effects of sediment starvation conditions that frequently occur below dams. However, the impacts of these structures on bedload transport reactivation and habitat diversification are typically transient due

Development and Restoration Trajectory of a Low‐Energy River: The Case of the Vistre, a Coastal River in the South of France

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of attention paid to low‐energy watercourses, particularly at the academic level, complicates the design, implementation, and evaluation of their ecological restoration. This article examines the case of the Vistre, a river in southern France, and its rehabilitation, based mainly on remeandering.
