River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

BioClimLand (Biota, Climate, Landscapes), 2014 Mires occupy 40% of the Ob river floodplain within the taiga zone. Their forming started about 8 or 9 thousand years ago. Floodplain mires are highly productive ecosystems. Total standing crop is 4.0 or 6.5 t*ha-1. Standing crop of living phytomass takes 50-60% of the total standing crop.

A Critique of Floodplain Planning in the Connecticut River Basin [PDF]
Journal of the Northeastern Agricultural Economics Council, 1975 It is generally recognized that the goal of achieving acceptable river basin planning in New England has been elusive. This is especially true in regard to the Connecticut River Basin (7). Ten government agencies have spent more than 10 years and over $4 million in inventorying and planning the Connecticut River Basin but have not yet produced a plan ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

From Rivers to Floodplains: Leveraging Transfer Learning to Predict Floodplain Dissolved Oxygen
Water Resources ResearchDissolved oxygen (DO) regulates the dominant biogeochemical processes in floodplains and is an important water quality indicator. However, predicting DO dynamics with data driven methods in floodplains is challenging due to data scarcity, limiting our ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The presumptive standards approach to environmental flows offers a method to develop interim guidelines for ecological and social‐cultural flow needs. The approach is based on deriving acceptable percent‐of‐flow limits based on naturalised flows (the absence of depletion or alteration of flow), and it can be an effective precursor to a full ...

Ecological IndicatorsWhen rivers are dammed or incised, the adjacent floodplains are often hydrologically decoupled from the river, with potentially drastic impacts on terrestrial biotic communities.

An advanced approach for catchment delineation and water balance modelling within wetlands and floodplains [PDF]
Advances in Geosciences, 2005 Water balance of wetlands within lowland floodplains is strongly influenced by the temporally variable spatial extent of the interactions between groundwater and surface water.

Conceptualizing River Floodplains
Earth's FutureAbstract Geologic, geomorphic, hydrologic, ecological, and biogeochemical conceptual models of river floodplains developed since the mid‐20th century led to the current conceptualization of floodplains as integrative systems that store and transform diverse materials, provide a source of material that can be transported downstream ...

Creation of digital elevation models for river floodplains
Proceedings of the V International conference Information Technology and Nanotechnology 2019, 2019 A procedure for constructing a digital elevation model (DEM) of the northern part of the Volga-Akhtuba interfluve is described. The basis of our DEM is the elevation matrix of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) for which we carried out the refinement and updating of spatial data using satellite imagery, GPS data, depth measurements of the River ...
