ABSTRACT Climate change, with its links to an intensified water cycle, heavier rainfall, and potentially higher flood peaks, raises concerns about the adequacy of current flood risk management. The devastating July 2021 floods in western Europe underscored these concerns, highlighting the need for transboundary cooperation and shared expertise in ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates the widespread degradation of river ecosystems in Bangladesh and its impact on fish biodiversity and identifies potential strategies for ecosystem restoration. Combining community perceptions from focus group discussions (FGDs) with fish market study for spatial analyses of fish species diversity across the Barak–Meghna,

Inventory and Characterization of the Riparian Zone of the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers [PDF]
The ecological, recreational, and economic value of the 134 mile (216 km) riparian corridor within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) is of great interest to land managers and conservationists.

Protected areas face growing pressure from invasive alien plant species (IAPS), whose distribution differs across dispersal corridors. This study reveals that road verges and riversides were the most heavily invaded areas (70% of recorded species), with Chromolaena odorata being the most dominant IAPS.

THE FEASIBILITY OF WETLAND RESTORATION TO REDUCE FLOODING IN THE RED RIVER VALLEY: A CASE STUDY OF THE MAPLE RIVER WATERSHED, NORTH DAKOTA [PDF]
The economic feasibility of alternative wetland restoration activities to store water and reduce flood damage was evaluated in the Maple River Watershed, North Dakota, a sub-watershed of the Red River of the North Watershed.

Groundwater‐dependent native riparian ecosystems of the Gila River floodplain (a) near the upstream end of the valley in winter 2014 and (b) near the downstream valley end in summer 2018. Topographically complex floodplains create favourable conditions across the full breadth of the valley bottom for a diversity of native groundwater‐dependent ...

Using the most complete summary of 20 years of riparian plant water use studies in North American drylands to date, we examine broad patterns of plant water use by vegetation type and across climate gradients. Marshes, cottonwood‐willow stands and tamarisk use larger amounts of water than other communities, and all communities have higher water use in ...

Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS), such as reconnecting floodplains and restoring riparian wetlands, can reduce flood risk as well as provide benefits like carbon storage, habitat support, and recreation. However, wetlands and floodplains are increasingly replaced with urban development and flooding is primarily addressed with grey infrastructure ...
