Changing river channels: the roles of hydrological processes, plants and pioneer fluvial landforms in humid temperate, mixed load, gravel bed rivers.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how vegetation dynamics across river margins are governed by hydrological processes that can both promote riparian vegetation growth and disturb and destroy riparian and aquatic vegetation.

The topographic signature of vegetation development along a braided river: Results of a combined analysis of airborne lidar, color air photographs, and ground measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine archived remotely sensed data (airborne lidar and digital color air photographs) with nonsynchronous ground observations (including observations of topographic form and vegetation cover and growth) to test the hypothesis that colonization of exposed river sediments by riparian trees has an impact on channel form and quantify any impact that is identified.

Planform dynamics of braided streams
TL;DR: In this article, a series of 14 experimental runs were performed in a laboratory physical model with uniform sand, varying the discharge and the longitudinal slope, in order to assess whether the system reaches a steady state under constant flow conditions and, in that case, to determine how it can be described and on which parameters it depends.

Understanding reference processes: linkages between river flows, sediment dynamics and vegetated landforms along the Tagliamento River, Italy†

TL;DR: The Tagliamento River as mentioned in this paper represents an important Alpine to Mediterranean braided system, where interactions between river flows, sediment dynamics and vegetated landforms can be investigated within a relatively unconfined setting.

Assessment of morphological changes induced by flow and flood pulses in a gravel bed braided river: The Tagliamento River (Italy)
TL;DR: In this article, the morphological changes induced by six different floods in a 1 km-long reach of the Tagliamento River, Italy, were investigated, and cross-section profiles were used to quantify the transported sediments volume and to estimate the percentage of the floodplain subject to morphological evolution.
