This book focuses on the river morphodynamics and stream ecology of
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The objective of the book is to
summarize and synthesize the recent studies based on field surveys
undertaken in the period 2007-2014. This book was written to serve
as a graduate-level text for a course in river dynamics and stream
ecology and as a reference text for engineers and researchers
engaged in hydropower engineering, fluvial geomorphology and
aquatic ecology. The first two chapters serve as an introduction of
geomorphological characteristics as well as uplift and its impact
on river morphology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Chapters 3-5
cover meandering rivers and cutoff, wetlands and wetland
shrinkage,desertification and restoration strategies in the
Sanjiangyuan region. Chapter 6 discusses the interaction between
erosion and vegetation, and Chapter 7 characterizes the aquatic
ecology of the Yarlung Tsangpo and the Sanjiangyuan region.
