Integrating resilience into floodplain restoration
Urban Ecosystems, 2004This paper explores the role of geographic prioritization as a means of identifying lands that are especially well suited to restoration in the historical floodplain of western Oregon's Willamette River. The river and its floodplain have been extensively modified since 1850. As a result, the quantity and quality of river habitat have declined.

Restoration of floodplain rivers: The ‘Danube restoration project’
Regulated Rivers: Research & Management, 1999Restoration concepts for large river systems are currently in an early stage of development. Possibilities for, and constraints of, rehabilitation—both from a process-oriented view as well as from the nature conservation perspective—differ strongly according to the degree of anthropogenic changes.

Floodplain forests are unique ecosystems that are located alongside rivers and streams. These systems derive their characteristics from periodic inundations. The extent, structure, and diversity of floodplain forests have been strongly modified by human pressures acting at the catchment, reach, and local scales.

Restoring Floodplain Forests in Europe
2012Floodplain forests are linear forest systems, occupying the lower areas of river catchments. Their boundaries correspond with the areas disturbed by river flooding and they generally have shallow water tables. The ecology of floodplain forests is closely linked to the dynamic physical processes associated with flooding.

Restoration of floodplain forests in Britain
Forestry, 1995Floodplain forests have almost completely disappeared from Britain. Throughout the temperate regions of Europe and North America they have been greatly reduced and many of the remainder are threatened. River control has altered the natural flooding and disturbance regime.

Waterbird response indicates floodplain wetland restoration
Hydrobiologia, 2016Despite extensive anthropogenic degradation of most wetlands and other aquatic habitats associated with large rivers in the Midwest, the region still supports continentally important numbers of waterbirds during autumn and spring migration; however, few data exist to evaluate wetland restoration success and identify thresholds where changes in ...

Biogeochemistry, 2018
Predicted changes in the timing and magnitude of storms have the potential to amplify water quality challenges associated with agricultural runoff. In agricultural streams of the Midwestern US, floodplain restoration has the potential to enhance inorganic nitrogen (N) removal by increasing the bioreactive surface area for microbially-mediated ...

Restored river-floodplain connectivity promotes woody plant establishment
Forest Ecology and Management, 2021Abstract Riparian forest ecosystems are declining globally. Many floodplains no longer flood and thus cease to satisfy the hydrologic requirements for riparian tree maintenance and regeneration. To promote woody riparian plant recruitment where flood regimes have been altered by flow regulation, effective approaches to restoration need to be ...

Floodplain restoration by means of water regime control
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 1995Abstract A new approach for ecological restoration of floodplains of regulated rivers is presented. The emphasis is laid on restoring the most important abiotic factor, the water regime, which has undergone serious deteriorations due to anthropogeneous effects.

Effect of Floodplain Restoration on Photolytic Removal of Pharmaceuticals
Environmental Science & Technology, 2020Floodplain restoration is popular to address excess nutrients, but its ability to enhance photolysis of emerging contaminants has not been evaluated. We used the numerical model MIKE-21 to simulate photolysis reactions within the inundated surface water of restored floodplains along a mid-size river.
