Ecological Interfaces between Land and Flowing Water: Themes and Trends in Riparian Research and Management
This paper provides an overview of past, present and future themes for research and management of riparian zones, often relating to papers within this Wetlands Special Feature. Riparian research expanded in the U...

Dynamics of Plains Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) Forests and Historical Landscape Change along Unchannelized Segments of the Missouri River, USA
Construction of six large dams and reservoirs on the Missouri River over the last 50–75 years has resulted in major landscape changes and alterations in flow patterns, with implications for riparian forests do...

Open AccessEarly Vegetation Development on an Exposed Reservoir: Implications for Dam Removal
The 4-year drawdown of Horsetooth Reservoir, Colorado, for dam maintenance, provides a case study analog of vegetation response on sediment that might be exposed from removal of a tall dam. Early vegetation re...

Use of individualistic streamflow-vegetation relations along the Fremont River, Utah, USA to assess impacts of flow alteration on wetland and riparian areas
We analyzed the transverse pattern of vegetation along a reach of the Fremont River in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA using models that support both delineation of wetland extent and projection of the c...

Responses of Riparian Cottonwoods to Alluvial Water Table Declines
Human demands for surface and shallow alluvial groundwater have contributed to the loss, fragmentation, and simplification of riparian ecosystems. Populus species typically dominate riparian ecosystems through...

Fluvial disturbance patches and cottonwood recruitment along the upper Missouri River, Montana
The disturbance patches most suitable for seedling establishment of pioneer riparian trees are also subject to future disturbances that produce high seedling mortality. We are monitoring plains cottonwood seed...

Downstream effects of dams on channel geometry and bottomland vegetation: Regional patterns in the great plains
The response of rivers and riparian forests to upstream dams shows a regional pattern related to physiographic and climatic factors that influence channel geometry. We carried out a spatial analysis of the res...

Constraints on establishment of plains cottonwood in an urban riparian preserve
Plot sampling and hydraulic modeling were combined to investigate establishment and survival of plains cottonwood along Boulder Creek, an urban stream on the Colorado Plains. We tested the hypothesis that esta...

Restoration of riparian forest using irrigation, artificial disturbance, and natural seedfall
In interior western North America, many riparian forests dominated by cottonwood and willow are failing to reproduce downstream of dams. We tested the hypothesis that establishment is now prevented by absence ...

Correspondence between Vegetation and Soils in Wetlands and Nearby Uplands
The association between vegetation and soils from a geographically broad sampling of wetlands and adjoining uplands is reported for 38 hydric and 26 nonhydric soils, as recognized in the hydric soils list of t...

Disturbance in a cypress-tupelo wetland: An interaction between thermal loading and hydrology
The interaction between thermal loading and hydrology was examined in a forested wetland. As a result of flooding, portions of the wetland are periodically exposed to elevated water temperatures, resulting in ...
