- Abstract:
- This proposal investigates interactions between vegetation, river flows, and sediment/vegetation propagule dynamics in groundwater-fed rivers. It develops a classification of groundwater river reaches. It integrates observations of flow, fine sediment and propagule transfer processes with vegetation biomass and channel morphology dynamics in 6 reaches (3 on the Tern and 3 on the Frome), through the assessment of the hydraulic signature of different reach types and the application of ordination techniques to the ecological and sedimentological data. These outputs are combined with the classification to give insights into the impact of vegetation on sediment and propagule dynamics and support the development of management guidelines.
