ABSTRACT Reconstructing the paleohydraulics of ancient fluvial systems has important implications when determining channel-body dimensions in subsurface as well aiding source-to-sink studies and quantitatively impact changing climatic conditions. We undertake a paleohydraulic analysis Upper Jurassic Salt Wash distributive system (DFS) Morrison Formation, SW USA, to determine if downstream trend...

Solid and liquid mixtures in river courses intensify areas of confluence, conditioned mainly by the angular opening junction. Knowledge hydrosedimentological dynamics bedrock junctions with different openings is essential for understanding morphological adjustment at confluences supporting actions preservation conservation ecosystems. For this reason, article presents results a hydrogeomorpholo...

Looping patterns, where channels divide and reconnect further downstream, are widespread in natural rivers. Here, we build an extensive dataset of different gravel-bed sand-bed rivers around the world encompassing a wide range physiographic sedimentological conditions. Field data show existence quasi-universal relations for anabranches length when scaled with bankfull hydraulic geometry variabl...

The relative effects of hydrologic disturbance, abundance of root parasites, and ambient physicochemical conditions on total biomass, biomass allocation, and architecture of the emergent macrophyte Justicia americana (L.) Vahl. (Acanthanceae) were investigated in six south-central Alabama streams, USA. Justicia total biomass was negatively related to shading by riparian vegetation, which accoun...
