Mechanisms linking river flow regime and riparian hardwood establishment by Steven F. Railsback, John H. Bair

“…A more complete conceptual model of hardwood establishment considers that seeds need to be deposited where soil is moist long enough to develop roots but far enough from the water's edge to avoid mortality in flow fluctuations; for soil moisture to remain within reach of roots, which could require unusually steady flows, a high capillary fringe, or favorable groundwater gradients; and to avoid mortality due to scour or inundation in winter high flows. …”
