Vegetation can influence river hydrodynamics by changing the turbulent flow field and the averaged velocity profiles in comparison with those that can be commonly found in non-vegetated flows. In this way, vegetation potentially has a relevant effect on flow resistance, sediment transport and bank dynamics.
