Modelling fluvial morphodynamics in the face of environmental changes requires the consideration of feedbacks between hydrogeomorphological processes and riparian vegetation dynamics. Hydrogeomorphological processes control vegetation dispersal, recruitment, establishment and succession. In turn, vegetation strongly impacts water flow and sediment transport. Only a restricted set of riparian plant traits are needed to describe the response of vegetation to, and its effect on, river morphodynamics. However, biogeomorphological feedbacks are still poorly considered in fluvial morphodynamics numerical modelling. The objective of the project NUMRIP is to develop a numerical model of river biogeomorphological dynamics integrating feedbacks between hydrogeomorphological processes and a set of key riparian vegetation functional traits. We will develop an innovative scientific tool for fluvial hydrosystems management and restoration.
