River-floodplain connectivity and residence times controlled by topographic bluffs along a backwater transition

Frontiers in Water
The morphology of river levees and floodplains is an important control on river-floodplain connectivity within a river system under sub-bankfull conditions, and this morphology changes as a river approaches the coast due to backwater influence ...

Modeling the Effect of Enhanced Lateral Connectivity on Nutrient Retention Capacity in Large River Floodplains: How Much Connected Floodplain Do We Need?

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Floodplains have been degraded in Central Europe for centuries, resulting in less dynamic and less diverse ecosystems than in the past. They provide essential ecosystem services like nutrient retention to improve overall water quality and thus fulfill ...

Linking Flow Regime, Floodplain Lake Connectivity and Fish Catch in a Large River-Floodplain System, the Volga-Akhtuba Floodplain (Russian Federation)

, 2011
River-floodplain systems are amongst the most productive—but often severely impacted—aquatic systems worldwide. We explored the ecological response of fish to flow regime in a large river-floodplain system by studying the relationships between (1 ...

Floodplain (126) [PDF]

Refract: An Open Access Visual Studies Journal, 2020
In Floodplain (126), I investigated the paleo-flooding of Wiang Kum Kam in the Chao Phraya River Basin in Northern Thailand. I am interested in the diverse human activities that have existed on floodplains since antiquity. Made of bricks with the very silt and sediment, mud and earth of the floodplain below, this archeological site offers a deeper ...

Exploring dynamics of Poyang floodplain lakes using fused 8-day, 30-m remote sensing data (2000–2023)

European Journal of Remote Sensing
Poyang Lake has been frequently affected by droughts, which has drawn increasing attention. Floodplain lakes surrounding the main Poyang Lake play an important role in maintaining the hydrological cycle and supporting ecological diversity. Monitoring the

Evaluating targeted heuristics for vulnerability assessment in flood impact model chains

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021
In flood risk management, the choice of vulnerability functions has a remarkable impact on the overall uncertainty of modelling flood damage. The spatial transferability of empirical vulnerability functions is limited, leading to the need for computation

Soil modification in a chronosequence of postagricultural ecosystems of the intrazonal lithogenic matrix (Arkhangelsk region, Russia)

Acta Agrobotanica, 2019
Processes of soil self-restoration and soil modification in the chronosequence of postagricultural ecosystems located within the intrazonal (floodplain) soils of boreal forests were studied.

Flood Wave Attenuation as a Function of Floodplain Storage, Secondary Channel Conveyance, and Discharge

Water Resources Research
The elevation of natural river levees can vary considerably along the length of a river, and low‐lying features such as secondary floodplain channels allow for hydrologic exchange between a river and its floodplain over a range of discharges.
