Anthropogenic impacts in large rivers are widely studied, but studies of recovery once a disturbance has stopped are uncommon. This study examines the biogeomorphic recovery of a 40‐km river corridor on the mid‐Apalachicola River, Florida following the cessation of dredging, disposal, and snag removal in 2002. This failed navigation project resulted in vegetation losses (~166 ha between 1941 and 2004), river widening, and increased point bar areas. We used paired sets of imagery for a 10‐year period during the recovery process at two different flow levels to assess sand bar change, land cover change, and their spatial variations.

从美国墨西哥湾沿岸平原的一条大河的疏中恢复渠道和植被

大型河流中的人为影响已得到广泛研究，但是一旦扰动停止，恢复问题的研究并不多见。这项研究调查了2002年停止疏dr，处置和去除障碍物之后，佛罗里达州阿巴拉契科拉河中游40公里河道的生物地貌恢复。该失败的航行项目导致植被损失（1941年至1991年间约166公顷） 2004年），河流拓宽，并增加了点扎面积。在恢复过程中，我们使用了成对的图像集，在十年中以两种不同的流量水平评估了沙洲变化，土地覆盖变化及其空间变化。
