Abstract
The Influence of the Characteristics of Geomorphological Deposits on Terrestrial Plant Species Richness in the Low Flow Channel Downstream from an Inversion-Type Reservoir

Over 45,000 large dams have been built around the world [1] since the 19th century
The proportions of sand, silt, and clay in the three types of sandy deposits are shown in Figure 3, from which it may be seen that the proportions of sand in S1 and S2 deposits are higher than in S3 deposits, while this latter type contains more silt than the other two
Summary
Over 45,000 large dams (height > 15m) have been built around the world [1] since the 19th century. In Quebec, over 500 large dams have been built, and three types of regulated hydrological regimes are observed downstream from these dams (e.g., [7,8]) The first of these (natural-type regulated regime) is characterized by the occurrence of maximum flows in the spring during snowmelt, and minimum flows in winter or summer. This type of regulated hydrological regime differs from hydrological regimes in natural rivers in that it shows a slight increase in flows in winter and a slight decrease in flows in springtime. The annual cycle of streamflow is inverted compared to that observed in natural rivers
