Abstract: A summary and description of formulas is presented to determine flow resistance of natural rivers with vegetation as well as information is given on the influence of vegetation on the erosion/sedimentation processes of such rivers. Furthermore, main deficits of the existing knowledge are pointed out and possible solutions to close the gaps are shown. It concerns the determination of the interactive width between main channel and vegetated flood plains, the resistance of flexible vegetation with and without leaves and the flow over submerged vegetation with low water depth.
