Quantifying flooding regime in floodplain forests to guide river restoration

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2014
Determining the flooding regime needed to support distinctive floodplain forests is essential for effective river conservation under the ubiquitous human alteration of river flows characteristic of the Anthropocene Era.

Flows for Floodplain Forests: A Successful Riparian Restoration [PDF]

BioScience, 2003
Abstract Throughout the 20th century, the Truckee River that flows from Lake Tahoe into the Nevada desert was progressively dammed and dewatered, which led to the collapse of its aquatic and riparian ecosystems. The federal designation of the endemic cui-ui sucker (Chasmistes cujus) as endangered prompted a restoration program in the 1980s aimed at ...

Soil security in floodplain and river restoration projects

Soil Security, 2023
Floodplains and their soils provide a vast range of ecosystem services for nature and humans. At the same time, however, these ecosystems are among the most degraded in the world. During the past decades an increased effort has been made towards the restoration of floodplains and rivers; however, in such projects, soil is often overlooked.

Ecological-climatic characteristics of the flora of a floodplain landscape in Southeastern Europe

Biosystems Diversity, 2020
Floodplain ecosystems take on the role of active areas of biodiversity and provide many “ecosystem services”, as evidenced by a number of European scientific references.

Effects of stream restoration by legacy sediment removal and floodplain reconnection on water quality

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The effectiveness of many stream restorations in improving water quality is unmeasured. In the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, activity by European settlers resulted in upland erosion and deposition of sediments 1–3 m in thickness in stream ...

Valuing nature-conservation interests on agricultural floodplains [PDF]

, 2009
The ecosystem approach and evaluation of ecosystem services is gaining increasing attention from scientists, practitioners and policy makers. An important part of this process is to establish the `value' of the nature-conservation assets within an area ...

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Reactivation of Floodplains in River Restorations: Long‐Term Implications on the Mobility of Floodplain Sediment Deposits [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 2019
AbstractNowadays, national and international requirements and laws emphasize the “natural” development of river‐floodplain systems. One goal is to increase the connectivity between the river and its floodplains and thus reactivate floodplains as flooding areas, which potentially increases the mobility of fine sediments.
