Remote Sensing Measures Restoration Successes, but Canopy Heights Lag in Restoring Floodplain Vegetation

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Wetlands worldwide are becoming increasingly degraded, and this has motivated many attempts to manage and restore wetland ecosystems. Restoration actions require a large resource investment, so it is critical to measure the outcomes of these management ...

Understanding community assembly rules in managed floodplain food webs

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Community assembly has been an important topic in ecological research and theory for over a century. Recently, restoration ecologists have emphasized the use of community assembly rules, such as environmental filtering, to better inform management ...

Connectivity as a driver of river-floodplain functioning: A dynamic, graph theoretic approach

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Connectivity is a crucial property of the river-floodplain ecosystem. Reduction of connectivity, fragmentation and isolation effects, impacting ecological functions and biodiversity, is one of the most critical threats to floodplain systems.

Flooding tolerance of four floodplain meadow species depends on age. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Numerous restoration campaigns focused on re-establishing species-rich floodplain meadows of Central Europe, whose species composition is essentially controlled by regular flooding.

Managing River Flows to Restore Floodplain Forests [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2005
River damming has dramatic environmental impacts and while changes due to reservoir flooding are immediate, downstream impacts are more spatially extensive. Downstream environments are influenced by the pattern of flow regulation, which also provides an opportunity for mitigation.

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

open access: yesActa 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.

Patterns in fish assemblages in the Loire floodplain: the role of hydrological connectivity and implications for conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Hydrological connectivity is known to determine biodiversity patterns across large river floodplains, but it is often greatly altered by human activities.

Inequities in the distribution of flood risk under floodplain restoration and climate change scenarios

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2022
The combined impacts of climate change and ecological degradation are expected to worsen inequality within society. These dynamics are exemplified by increases in flood risk globally.

Survival of Casuarina cunninghamiana on a recovering sand-bed stream in the Wollombi Valley of coastal New South Wales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The successful management and restoration of riparian corridors in Australia is currently hindered by our poor understanding of the links between hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and plant population dynamics.
