Abstract

River and wetland case studies from contrasting landscape settings with differing sediment cascades and (dis)connectivity relationships in Australia and New Zealand present contrasting sediment ‘problems’. Here we use the concept of switches that regulate the operation of buffers, barriers and blankets as a basis to develop catchment-scale sediment management plans. We present plans for managing sediment (dis)connectivity for each case study. We conclude with five key factors that practitioners need to consider when embarking on managing sediment (dis)connectivity of rivers and wetlands in practice.
