摘要 河流地貌是科学认识河流景观的基础。然而，大学研究学院的学科基础意味着英国景观研究中缺少对河流地貌的简单解释。本文试图通过设定河流塑造谷底、洪泛区和河道的基本时间和空间尺度来纠正这种平衡。河流景观以与管理相关的术语进行解释；几个世纪以来的防洪工程已经使我们的大部分河道不再活跃。未来的管理，考虑到景观，将需要纳入（或恢复）动态河流过程。需要制定教育计划，使公众对“野生”河流的欣赏与可持续管理它们所需的信息和理解相匹配。
Abstract The basis for a scientific understanding of river landscapes is fluvial geomorphology. However, the base of the subject in university research schools has meant that a simple interpretation of river landforms has been missing from UK landscape studies. This paper attempts to redress the balance by setting down the basic time and space scales along which our rivers have sculpted their valley floors, floodplains and channels. The fluvial landscape is interpreted in terms which are relevant to management; centuries of flood protection works have rendered most of our river channels inactive. Future management, with landscapes in mind, will need to incorporate (or restore) dynamic fluvial processes. A programme of education is required to match the public appreciation of ‘wild’ rivers with the information and understanding needed to manage them sustainably.
