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.

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.

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

Degradation of floodplain integrity within the contiguous United States
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Despite the numerous hydrological, geological, and ecological benefits produced by floodplain landscapes, floodplains continue to be degraded by human activities at a much higher rate than other landscape types.

Floodplains: the forgotten and abused component of the fluvial system
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 River restoration is strongly focussed on in-channel initiatives driven by fisheries interests and a continued desire for river stability. This contrasts greatly with the inherently mobile nature of watercourses. What is often overlooked is the fact that

Long-term success of floodplain meadow restoration on species-poor grassland
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Restoration of floodplain meadows remains a challenge, as many degraded sites suffer from seed limitation. The transfer of seed-containing plant material from species-rich donor sites is a widely used method to restore semi-natural grasslands.

Spatio-temporal heterogeneity of riparian soil morphology in a restored floodplain [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However,
