This work highlights how annual invasive species can drive geomorphological change and reinforces the need for seasonally informed management and restoration strategies in riparian systems.

We found that the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera significantly amplifies the seasonal variation in riverbank shear strength. By outcompeting native vegetation in summer and leaving riverbanks bare following winter dieback, invaded sites exhibited ~30% lower shear strength in winter.
