Ecohydrological control of macrophytes in floodplain lakes

Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology, 2006
Floodplain lakes are one of the most essential habitats for aquatic macrophytes in the modern cultural landscape. Their maintenance and support calls for ecohydrological strategies, as river development, enhanced flood control and other stakeholder interests may have negative impact on the present oxbow ecosystems.

Hydrodynamic and water quality modeling of a large floodplain lake (Poyang Lake) in China

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Floodplain lakes are valuable to humans because of their various functions and are characterized by dramatic hydrological condition variations. In this study, a two-dimensional coupled hydrodynamic and water quality model was applied in a large floodplain lake (i.e., Poyang Lake), to investigate spatial and temporal water quality variations.

Modelling Nutrient Fluxes in Floodplain Lakes

1997
Only a few years ago Mitsch and Fennessy (1991) stated that modelling nutrient exchanges in wetlands was “now” developing. However, their statement applies to temperate wetlands rather than tropical floodplain lakes, for which still very few modelling studies exist.

The evolution of an oxbow lake in the Mississippi alluvial floodplain

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2008
The history of sediment accumulation in an oxbow lake located on the Mississippi alluvial floodplain was reconstructed based on sedimentation rates determined using 14C activities from bulk sediment fractions and from 210Pb and 137Cs measurements. Higher rates of sediment accumulation consistent with frequent flooding when first abandoned 3,800 to 5 ...

Fast response of lake plankton and nutrients to river inundations on floodplain lakes

River Research and Applications, 2008
AbstractKey variables in ecosystems tend to operate on widely different time‐scales. These time‐scales become relevant when a disturbance rocks the ecosystem. Here we try to explain the fast dynamics of plankton and nutrients in the water column of floodplain lakes after disturbances (inundations).

Biogeochemistry of Amazon Floodplain Lakes and Associated Wetlands

2001
Floodplains and associated lakes are important components of the biogeochemistry, ecology, and hydrology of the Amazon basin. Amazon floodplains contain thousands of lakes and associated wetlands linked to each other and to the many rivers of the immense basin. These floodplain lakes modify the passage of flood waves (Richey et al.

Nitrogen Turnover in Drying Sediments of an Amazon Floodplain Lake

Microbial Ecology, 2005
In the Amazon floodplain large areas are subject to annual cycles of drying and rewetting. The turnover of nitrogen in the periodically drying sediments is an important regulator of floodplain fertility. In the present study the transition of a lake sediment from flooded to dry conditions was studied with respect to microbial nitrogen turnover.

Methane turnover in exposed sediments of an Amazon floodplain lake

Biogeochemistry, 2000
In the Amazon floodplain large areas of unvegetatedlake sediments are exposed to air during low water. Imeasured methane fluxes from exposed sediments of anAmazonian floodplain lake and assessed the regulatingfactors. Methane emission decreased from values between 10 and 40 μmol CH4 mminus 2 hminus 1to zero when the sediments were exposed to air ...
