Deflation basins, or shallow depressions formed by wind erosion, are found in many semi-arid regions around the world. Because these features are topographic lows they become sites of water accumulation and are often ...

Contemporary methods for managing flood plain ecosystems are biased towards temporal patterns of flow. Such approaches disregard the inherent spatial complexity associated with the flooding and drying of flood plain ...

Seagrasses are highly productive and dynamic ecosystems, which supply a range of ecosystem services. Despite this, seagrass communities are globally in decline, largely due to anthropogenic influences. Urban and agricultural ...

In semi-arid environments, dryland wetlands serve as key loci for biological diversity and productivity. This stems from their relative abundance of water and the comparative richness of their soils which are reinvigorated ...

This study investigates the influence of three external factors (channel confinement, riparian vegetation and the presence of in-channel islands and bars) on the downstream morphology and variability of a 600-m reach of ...

Altered flow regimes are widely acknowledged as a major driver of deteriorating conditions in Australian floodplain ecosystems. These ecosystems have historically been sites of high biodiversity and productivity with much ...

The Macquarie Marshes is a large fluvial and floodplain wetland system at the end of the Macquarie River in northwest NSW. At the system inlet, the Macquarie River undergoes avulsion into a series of anastomosing channels ...
