More Than Dirt: Soil Health Needs to Be Emphasized in Stream and Floodplain Restorations

Soil Systems, 2023
Soil health is not explicitly included in current stream and floodplain restorations. This may be one of the many reasons that stream restorations are not achieving their full restoration and ecological benefits.

Integrating Conflicting Goals of the EC Water Framework Directive and the EC Habitats Directives Into Floodplain Restoration Schemes

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
River floodplains are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world and their protection and restoration is of key importance for river managers. In Europe, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Habitats and Birds Directives (HBDs) provide a ...

Understanding community assembly rules in managed floodplain food webs

Ecosphere, 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

Ecological 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.

Managing River Flows to Restore Floodplain Forests [PDF]

Frontiers 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.

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

PLoS 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.

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.

Floodplain management in temperate regions : is multifunctionality enhancing biodiversity? [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Floodplains are among the most diverse, dynamic, productive and populated but also the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Threats are mainly related to human activities that alter the landscape and disrupt fluvial processes to obtain ...

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

, 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.

Conservation planning for riverine biodiversity under changing climate: use of models [PDF]

Nature Conservation
Floodplain habitat area and quality have decreased significantly over the last decades, mainly due to anthropogenic changes. Conservation efforts targeting floodplain species must consider changing climate when choosing suitable areas for restoration ...
