==Notes==
*Defines a set of factors related to floodplain disturbance regime that define forest structure, surface age, and other dynamics, presenting a biophysical model of floodplain forests.
*Characterizes proportion of surface age within floodplain as associated with channel pattern (with increasing instability: single, meandering, island/braided, braided)
*Associates channel form with a erosion-to-deposition transition from [[headwaters]] to lowland [[floodplain]]s and [[watershed]]s.
*Links assembly to species adaptations.
*Points to the importance of nutrient cycling (particularly [[nitrogen]] and rapid weathering of river sediments) in primary succession associated with river disturbance.
