Morphological Scale Experiments to link river bed structure with riverine vegetation

Vorschau

Due to the fact, that most of the rivers in Germany and the EU still miss the good ecological status (BMU, 2010) a combined project of university institutes with professional focus on hydraulic engineering, morphology and hydrobiology, administration and practical partners of environmental and a planning agency as well as partners with economical background, was established to aim the improvement of ecological and flood risk status with simultaneous increase of level of acceptance by public when flood risk management is systematically combined with environmental protection goals. Vegetation has not only fundamental ecological functions in the fluvial environment, but also affects flow pattern, bed-shear stress and hence local sediment deposition, which links back to habitat characteristics. That’s why, parts of the project-partners focus on morphology-vegetation interactions in detail. The objective of this part of the joint-project is to investigate river bed structures due to the influence of riparian vegetation. This paper reviews the current state and the investigation of parameters in the morphological scale experiments.
