Resilience and Riverine Landscapes

About this book

Resilience and Riverine Landscapes presents contributed chapters from global experts in Riverine Landscapes, making it the most comprehensive reference available on the topic. The book explores why rivers are ideal landscapes to study resilience and why studying rivers from a resilience perspective is important for our biophysical understanding of these landscapes and for society. The book focuses on the biophysical character of resilience in riverine landscapes, providing an interdisciplinary perspective of the structure, function, and interactions of riverine landscapes and the ecosystems they contain. The editors conclude by proposing a research agenda for the future, emphasizing the need for transdisciplinary research across a range of spatial and temporal scales and research domains. - Presents the resilience of rivers with both a theoretical and applied focus - Includes case studies from a wide geographical base, allowing for a full range of viewpoints - Showcases how resilience is being incorporated into the study and management of riverine landscapes - Includes a transdisciplinary focus on riverine landscapes, from theory to applied, and from biophysical to social-ecological systems
