Of particular interest are flood plains, where important hydro- and morphodynamic processes occur as a result of recurrent flooding. Ecologically, they also support the establishment of many species in need of conservation. In this chapter, relevant fine sediment deposition processes are introduced and the numerical tools used to forecast fluvial responses are presented. This is a topic that is especially relevant for river restoration projects.cloggingecological functionflood protectioninterdisciplinary researchrefugiariver habitatriparian speciesriver restorationtext::journal::journal article::research article
