Soil Nitrogen Dynamics in a River Floodplain Mosaic
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2012In their natural state, river floodplains are heterogeneous and dynamic ecosystems that may retain and remove large quantities of nitrogen from surface waters. We compared the soil nitrogen dynamics in different types of habitat patches in a restored and a channelized section of a Thur River floodplain (northeast Switzerland).

Floodplain sedimentation along extended river reaches
Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1999Large scale changes in floodplain geometry, as contemplated for the Rhine River as part of combined renaturalisation and flood control projects in The Netherlands, will change the rate of floodplain sedimentation. To investigate the seriousness of the anticipated increase, a modelling approach was developed to simulate floodplain sedimentation along ...

Floodplain construction in an anastomosed river
Quaternary International, 2004Abstract Fluvial environments and sedimentary facies involved in the floodplain (C2a type) construction of an anastomosed river system (Upper Parana River, Brazil) were studied. Sediment volume of floodplain deposits and sedimentation rate of each environment were obtained: channel (51.56%; 8.5 mm/yr), splay (33.85%; 1.27 mm/yr), pond (8.60%; 1.0 mm ...

Assessment of River-Floodplain Aquifer Interactions
Environmental & Engineering Geoscience, 1997The interaction between the Brazos River and the adjacent floodplain aquifer was studied for 200 days in 1995 at a ground-water research site near College Station, Texas. Two In Situ Permeable Flow Sensors (ISPFS) and a grid of well nests were used to correlate river stage to the magnitude and direction of ground-water flow at depths of 13.7 m and 18.3

Succession modeling of river floodplain landscapes
Environmental Modelling & Software, 1998Abstract The spatial organization of ecological units that constitute river floodplains was modeled using a recent image synthesis method. The model combined a purely spatial process, the stochastic pyramid, with analytical descriptions of ecological successions observed on each landform of the fluvial landscape.

Formation of braided river floodplains, Waimakariri River, New Zealand
Sedimentology, 1993ABSTRACTFloodplains along the braided gravel‐bed Waimakariri River are discontinuous although generally extensive landforms composed predominantly of gravel bars capped with vertically accreted fines. In order of importance, three mechanisms lead to floodplain formation.

River Channel Adjustment to Floodplain Management
1995The main elements of the fluvial hydrosystem — the river basin, river channel and flood-plain — are bound together by three-dimensional, time dependent exchange of matter and energy, which determine the ecological system with its interactions and successions (Amoros and Petts, 1993).
