Am. Gurnell et al., A conceptual model for alpine proglacial river channel evolution under changing climatic conditions, CATENA, 38(3), 2000, pp. 223-242
This paper integrates concepts derived from the literature to focus upon in
teractions between riparian vegetation and river channel dynamics in alpine
glacier basins. Discussion of the nature and variability of discharge and
sediment regimes of alpine glacier-fed rivers; downstream variations in the
physical character of the river channel and corridor; consequent downstrea
m variations in lateral processes; and regional variations in alpine glacie
r dynamics, lead to the proposal of a conceptual model of proglacial river
channel-riparian vegetation interactions under changing climatic conditions
