BIOMORPHODYNAMICS OF ALTERNATE BARS IN A CHANNELIZED, REGULATED RIVER: AN INTEGRATED HISTORICAL AND MODELLING ANALYSIS
SERLET, A; GURNELL, A; Zolezzi, G; WHARTON, G; Belleudy, P; Jourdain, C (Wiley, 2018-01-28)The development of alternate bars in channelized rivers can be explained theoretically as an instability of the riverbed when the active channel width to depth ratio exceeds a threshold. However, the development of a ... -
The current state of the use of large wood in river restoration and management
Grabowski, RC; GURNELL, AM; Burgess-Gamble, L; Holland, D; Klaar, MJ; Uttley, C; WHARTON, G (Wiley, 2019)Trees fall naturally into rivers generating flow heterogeneity, inducing geomorphological features, and creating habitats for biota. Wood is increasingly used in restoration projects and the potential of wood acting as ... -
Flow-divergence feedbacks control propagule retention by in-stream vegetation: the importance of spatial patterns for facilitation
CORNACCHIA, L; VAN DER WAL, D; VAN DE KOPPEL, J; PUIJALON, S; WHARTON, G; BOUMA, TJFacilitation (enhancement of propagule retention in this case) is increasingly recognized as an important driver of biodiversity, but it is still unknown if facilitation during dispersal and colonization is affected by ... -
LANDSCAPES OF FACILITATION: HOW SELF-ORGANIZED PATCHINESS OF AQUATIC MACROPHYTES PROMOTES DIVERSITY IN STREAMS
Cornacchia, L; van de Koppel, J; van der Wal, D; WHARTON, G; Puijalon, S; Bouma, T (Ecological Society of America, 2018-02-13)Spatial heterogeneity plays a crucial role in the coexistence of species. Despite recognition of the importance of self-organization in creating environmental heterogeneity in otherwise uniform landscapes, the effects of ... -
Plants face the flow in V-formation: a study of plant patch alignment in streams
CORNACCHIA, L; FOLKARD, A; DAVIES, G; GRABOWSKI, R; van de KOPPEL, J; van der WAL, D; WHARTON, G; PUIJALON, S; BOUMA, T (Wiley, 2018-12-14) -
River research and applications across borders
PINTER, N; BRASINGTON, J; GURNELL, A; KONDOLF, GM; TOCKNER, K; WHARTON, G; YARNELL, SM (Wiley, 2019-05-15)Rivers flow across national borders, unfettered by political distinctions, and the ecological health of rivers is closely linked to their degree of connectivity. River research today is more global than it has ever been, ... -
Trends in the use of large wood in UK river restoration projects: insights from the National River Restoration Inventory
WHARTON, G; CASHMAN, M; HARVEY, GL; Naura, M; Bryden, A (Wiley, 2018-10-19)Large Wood (LW) is increasingly employed in river restoration to promote physical habitat heterogeneity and ecological diversity. To explore how LW has been used in restoration schemes across the United Kingdom in recent ...
