On asymmetric compound open channel flows with two distinct width floodplains: revisiting interfacial mixing layer and flow structures
In high-flow events, inland surface flow cross sections are defined as compound staged channels with irregular and asymmetric nature of floodplains....

Estimating bank-line migration of the Brahmaputra River in the Middle Brahmaputra floodplains of Assam, India using Digital Shoreline Analysis System
The Brahmaputra River, in its middle reaches, has eroded many pockets of land, eventually leading to drastic bank-line shifting. This study aims to...

Floodplains and Connectivity Zones: Enhancing the Provision of Ecosystem Services
Floodplains cover only 6% of the Earth’s surface. Connectivity occurs in multidirectional patterns in riverbeds, throughout both the drainage paths...

Role of dynamic downstream hydraulic geometry on season-wise channel behavior pattern in the floodplains of Nagar Basin, India
Floodplain is the most productive land and very much desirable for human dwellings and other economic activities. Flood is the common process that...

The potential of REVEALS-based vegetation reconstructions using pollen records from alluvial floodplains
The two-step Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm—comprising the models REVEALS and LOVE—translates fossil pollen assemblages into quantitative...

Chinese Built-up Land in Floodplains Moving Closer to Freshwaters
Human proximity to water and its dynamics are important to understanding the socio-hydrological dilemma between using floodplains and avoiding flood...

Active methane processing microbes and the disproportionate role of NC10 phylum in methane mitigation in Amazonian floodplains
Here we use a top-down and bottom-up approach in landscape ecology to analyze the active microbes processing methane fluxes ( F CH 4 ) in seasonally...

Evaluating Flood Susceptibility in the Brahmaputra River Basin: An Insight into Asia's Eastern Himalayan Floodplains Using Machine Learning and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
Floods represent a significant threat to human life, property, and agriculture, especially in low-lying floodplains. This study assesses flood...

Flow depth, velocity, and sediment motions in a straight widened channel with vegetated floodplains
Experiments were conducted in a straight channel that widens from a single channel to a compound channel based on a real navigation channel with a...

A Methodical Assessment of Floodplains in Mixed Land Covers Encompassing Bridges in Alabama State: Implications of Spatial Land Cover Characteristics on Flood Vulnerability
The mixed land covers encompassing bridges (MLB) are integral indicator of the socio-economic hydrological system, and their progressions are vital...

Sediment deficit and morphological changes of alluvial floodplain in wandering reach of the lower Yellow River after **aolangdi Reservoir operation
Alluvial floodplains are a prominent part of rivers and play a vital role in flood mitigation and sediment detention. In the sediment-laden lower...

Inundation time mediates denitrification end products and carbon limitation in constructed floodplains of an agricultural stream
Conversion of landscapes to large-scale agriculture has substantially increased the loading of bioavailable nitrogen (N) to stream networks through...

Daily denitrification rates in floodplains under contrasting pedo-climatic and anthropogenic contexts: modelling at the watershed scale
Floodplains play a crucial role in water quality regulation via denitrification. This biogeochemical process reduces nitrate (NO 3 − ), with aquifer...
