Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Science and Application Series, Volume 8.Riparian Vegetation and Fluvial Geomorphology presents important new perspectives for the experimentalist, the field practitioner, the theorist, and the modeler, offering a synthesis of scientific advances along with discussions of unresolved problems and research opportunities. The volume is structured in five sections.
Sean J. Bennett is the editor of Riparian Vegetation and Fluvial Geomorphology, published by Wiley.Andrew Simon is the editor of Riparian Vegetation and Fluvial Geomorphology, published by Wiley.
