Applications of the framework generate a coherent package of geomorphic information, providing a physical template for river rehabilitation activities. management and restoration of rivers is a rapidly growing topic for environmental scientists, geologists and ecologists - this book provides a learning tool with which to approach geomorphic applications to river management describes the esRiversStream ecologyWatershed managementGeomorphologyRivers.Stream ecology.Watershed management.Geomorphology.551.48/3Brierley Gary J719146Fryirs Kirstie A719147MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910145552403321Geomorphology and river management1395881UNINA
