Hyporheic Corridor concept for Lotic Ecosystems.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotic_system_ecology

Disturbances such as congestion by dams or natural events such as shore flooding are not included in the RCC model.Various researchers have since expanded the model to account for such irregularities. For example, J.V. Ward and J.A. Stanford came up with the Serial Discontinuity Concept in 1983, which addresses the impact of geomorphologic disorders such as congestion and integrated inflows. The same authors presented the Hyporheic Corridor concept in 1993, in which the vertical (in depth) and lateral (from shore to shore) structural complexity of the river were connected.
