Flows, floods, floodplains and river restoration
Ecological Management & Restoration, 2012Returning water to rivers as environmental flows is now a major tool for restoration. Many plans for environmental flows have been modelled and devised but few have been delivered, at least in Australia. Nevertheless, as planned in the latest version of the Murray‐Darling Basin Authority’s (2011) Draft Basin Plan, water recovery for environmental flows

Intra-Floodplain Seed Dispersal Limitation and Wetland Community Restoration
Ecological Restoration, 2014The broadleaf marsh community in the post-restoration reaches of the Kissimmee River floodplain, Florida, US, has failed to achieve the expected dominance based on pre-disturbance conditions. We examined the hypothesis that seed dispersal is a limiting factor delaying the expansion of characteristic taxa of a dominant wetland plant community, broadleaf

Mesoscale river restoration enhances the diversity of floodplain vegetation
River Research and Applications, 2018AbstractEffective river restoration aims for the recovery of ecosystem functions by restoring processes and connectivity to the floodplain. At the straightened lowland river Stör in northern Germany, a sequence of 15 new meanders was created in 2008, with wavelengths up to 70 m. The newly created areas within the meander bends range in size from 215 to

Restoring Floodplains in Europe: Policy contexts and project experiences
Water Intelligence Online, 2015This book addresses the complex institutional dimensions to restoring floodplains. Despite the recent surge of interest in restoring floodplains among policy and research circles, as well as in the public domain, very few schemes for restoring functional floodplains have been put into practice in Europe to date.

Invasibility Drives Restoration of a Floodplain Plant Community
River Research and Applications, 2014AbstractAn understanding of the processes that determine plant community structure is a requisite for the planning and evaluation of restoration efforts on river floodplains. Variable disturbance regimes derived from flood pulses increase the susceptibility of river floodplains to colonizations by new species and establish invasibility as a potentially

THE ROLE OF STOCHASTICITY AND PRIORITY EFFECTS IN FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION
Ecological Applications, 2007This paper is a test of two widely held assumptions in the practice of riparian restoration: (1) if physical processes are restored, plant communities will naturally reassemble themselves, and (2) restored communities will resemble reference sites. Seasonal flooding was restored to two interconnected floodplains in the Central Valley of California (USA)

Unrealized Expectations for Restoration of a Floodplain Plant Community
Restoration Ecology, 2010The ongoing restoration of the channelized Kissimmee River is expected to promote reestablishment of the prolonged, deep inundation regimes that sustained broadleaf marsh as the dominant wetland plant community on the historical floodplain. The success of the restoration was evaluated at locations on the remnant floodplain where broadleaf marsh had ...
