Resilience and Riverine Landscapes 1st Edition

Resilience and Riverine Landscapes 1st Edition by Martin Thoms and Ian Fuller is an essential, contemporary guide for anyone working to understand and manage dynamic river systems. This authoritative volume blends cutting-edge science with practical insight to explain how rivers recover, adapt and persist across diverse landscapes — from temperate Europe and the British Isles to Australia, North America and beyond.

Clear, evidence-led chapters explore the drivers of resilience in fluvial geomorphology and riverine ecosystems, presenting concepts that bridge ecology, hydrology and river management. Readers will find accessible explanations of disturbance-recovery cycles, thresholds, spatial patterns and the role of human interventions in shaping catchment resilience. The book is ideal for researchers, environmental consultants, restoration practitioners, and policy-makers seeking robust frameworks to inform sustainable river management and restoration projects.

What makes this edition stand out is its balance of theory and application: conceptual models are paired with practical recommendations that support decision-making at local, regional and international scales. Whether you are designing restoration initiatives, assessing floodplain dynamics, or teaching advanced river science, this text provides tools to evaluate system responses and design resilient interventions.

Engagingly written and rigorously researched, Resilience and Riverine Landscapes 1st Edition is a vital resource for building sustainable, resilient river futures.
