Zusammenfassung:Dam removal generally causes changes to aspects of the physical environment that influence the establishment and growth of riparian vegetation. Given the well-documented importance of fluvial geomorphic and hydrologic conditions in structuring riparian vegetation, botanists and plant ecologists should seek collaborations with physical scientists and couple plant response models to models used to estimate water and sediment dynamics following dam removal.
