I'm looking for papers that report changes in backwater and side channel habitat on rivers below dams. It seems like common sense that declines should occur, due to channel incision, reduction in sediment transport, reductions in flooding, etc., but I've actually run across very little thus far in the literature. I'd appreciate any citations that any of you know of. Journal articles are preferred, but theses and gray literature are OK too.
