Assessing ecosystem health of floodplain lakes using an Integrated Bioassessment Index

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Lakes within river-floodplain ecosystems are key biodiversity refuges majorly threatened by eutrophication and hydrologic river-lake fragmentation. However, an integrative index, specifically designed to comprehensively assess the health of floodplain ...

What Drives the Changing Characteristics of Plankton in Floodplain Lakes: Season, Environmental Factors, or Lake Characteristics? [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The floodplain lake ecosystem is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Its water level changes with seasonal floods. These periodic water level fluctuations have far‐reaching impacts on ecosystem structure and function. Systematic understanding

Sediment Infill of Tropical Floodplain Lakes: Rates, Controls, and Implications for Ecosystem Services

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Shallow lakes in tropical floodplains provide significant ecosystem services that can be altered by natural and anthropogenic forces. Despite their importance, little is known about the infill patterns and timescales and the magnitude of these changes in

Multi-source remote sensing data and image fusion technology reveal significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity of inundation dynamics in a typical large floodplain lake system

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023
Study region: The Poyang Lake, which is located on the south bank of the middle-lower Yangtze River basin. The lake is the largest freshwater lake in China, and also a typical floodplain lake in the world. Study focus: The spatiotemporal heterogeneity of

Floodplain hydrology in an Amazon floodplain lake (Lago Grande de Curuaí) [PDF]

Journal of Hydrology, 2008
Summary The floodplains of the Amazon basin influence the hydrology and fluxes of suspended solids and solutes on multiple scales. Our study focused on the floodplain of Lago Grande de Curuao´ (Obidos, Brazil), a 4000 km 2 segment of floodplain and local upland catchment representative of the lower Amazon.

Estimation of water volume in ungauged, dynamic floodplain lakes

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Lakes play a crucial role in retaining water and altering biogeochemical processes on floodplains. Existing strategies and algorithms for estimation of water storage are insufficient for dynamic floodplain lakes due to the scarcity of available ...

Single-Species Co-management Improves Fish Assemblage Structure and Composition in a Tropical River

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Co-management is increasingly recognized as an effective model for managing fisheries, but little information exists on whether co-management can produce effects in species other than the target species.

Co-occurrence patterns of fish communities in littorals of three floodplain lakes of the Orinoco River, Venezuela

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
The co-occurrence patterns of fish communities in the littorals of three lagoons of the Orinoco River floodplain in Venezuela were studied during four hydrological phases: low, rising, high and falling waters, from 2008–2009, using null models.
