Les systèmes fluviaux ont façonné et façonnent activement les paysages continentaux. Ces systèmes contrôlent l’évacuation des eaux superficielles et souterraines et des sédiments produits et accumulés dans les bassins versants. Ils comportent une gamme de processus qui s’imbriquent à de multiples échelles. À l’échelle des tronçons fluviaux, la dynamique de l’écoulement de l’eau dans les rivières est cruciale pour comprendre l’évolution des formes du lit des rivières. À l’échelle du bassin versant, le transit sédimentaire est fortement corrélé aux fluctuations du niveau de base et de l’évolution des formes fluviales. 3, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20fluvial

La limite spatiale entre le système fluvial et ses bordures est bien distincte, et elle sépare nettement les deux milieux : fluvial et interfluvial. Par contre, les vastes dimensions de la plaine alluviale amazonienne et l'absence de limite entre les forêts d’interfluves et les végétations alluviales, le long d’un gradient qui s’étend des forêts non inondables jusqu'aux populations d’espèces disséminées par l'eau ou les poissons, montrent que ce cours d’eau et ses bordures constituent un système ouvert et dépendant des échanges latéraux avec les milieux adjacents. 4, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20fluvial

La diversité des systèmes fluviaux peut se décrire par les éléments qui la composent. [...] les styles fluviaux comportent des processus géomorphologiques propres dont l’existence même est digne d’être remarquée, mais dont le rôle est fondamental et souvent contribue écologiquement à la diversité biologique. Par exemple, les styles dynamiques à méandre et divagants ont un processus de méandrage qui conduit à renouveler constamment les habitats. Le style anastomosé dans les plaines est souvent le lieu d’inondations où les alluvions déposées sont riches en minéraux. Les styles seuil-mouille, cascade, et les rapides présentent des habitats remarquables pour les salmonidés. 2, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20fluvial
