- 1 River Continuum Concept
- 2 Nutrient Spiraling Concept
- 3 Flood Pulse Concept
The river continuum concept was developed by Vannote et al. (1980). The concept was developed from the idea that river systems, from headwaters to the mouth, present a continuous gradient of physical conditions. This gradient provides the physical template upon which the biotic communities and their associated processes developed. As a result, one ...
Webster (1975) and Webster and Patten (1979) proposed nutrient spiraling as a mechanism to account for the apparent ability of stream ecosystems to withstand and recover from disturbance. The term spiraling refers to the spatially dependent cycling of nutrients and the processing (i.e., oxidation and conditioning) of organic matter in lotic ecosyst...
This concept was developed by Junk et al. (1989). The principal driving force behind the existence, productivity, and interaction of the diverse biota in river—floodplain systems is the flood pulse. A spectrum of geomorphological and hydrological conditions produces flood pulses, which ranges from unpredictable to predictable and from short to long...

Apr 30, 2020 · It presents a conceptual model defining rivers as dynamic systems characterized by interaction among flow, sediment transport, and channel form. It defines a hierarchy of spatial and temporal scales relevant to the characterization of river systems.
Rivers-Structure and Functions Abstract Rivers are the corridors connecting the terrestrial environment to the ocean realm. They play an important role in the sustenance of life systems of nature. As a geological agent, rivers carve out distinct suite of geomorphic features on the surface of the Earth. But human interventions consequent to economic
