River restoration works design based on the study of early-stage vegetation development and alternate bar dynamics

Active geomorphological interventions, such as reprofiling of river bars, are often used to increase bar dynamics and prevent vegetation encroachment. River restoration management should be planned based on the knowledge of what processes will follow the intervention and on the anticipation of the consequences. However, in many cases, the...

Effects of Vegetation Patch Patterns on Channel Morphology: A Numerical Study

This study investigates the effects of vegetation patch patterns on the morphological evolution of alluvial river channels at the reach-scale. For this, a new two-dimensional numerical biomorphodynamic model has been developed using the Telemac-Mascaret system. Considering the newest development in the topic, the effects of vegetation on bedload...
