Flooding is a major disturbance that impacts aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem
services that they provide. Predicted increases in global flood risk due to land use change …

Hypoxia can occur following rewetting of floodplains and cause severe impacts on aquatic
biota and biogeochemical processes. The likelihood of such events is influenced by a …

Discharging 680 km 3 of freshwater annually to the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM), the
Mississippi-Atchafalaya River System (MARS) plays a significant role in transporting major …

Abstract The Atchafalaya River Basin is the largest remaining forested wetland in the
contiguous United States. Since 1960, dredging and channel erosion in the Basin have …

Hypoxic blackwater events occur worldwide, affecting inland and coastal waters. These
events have been exacerbated by man‐made floodplain drainage, leading to large‐scale …

Abstract The Atchafalaya River Basin (ARB) is the largest distributary basin of the
Mississippi River and contains the largest tract of forested wetlands in North America …

Little is known about water movement, volume, or residence time (RT), and how those
characteristics affect sediment trapping efficiency (TE) and dissolved oxygen concentrations …

Overbank floods in modified lowland rivers often inundate a mosaic of different land uses
(eg forests, crops and pastures) on the floodplain. We used a glasshouse experiment to …

Although intermittent and ephemeral rivers lack surface flow for part of the year, they provide
vital refuges for biota in otherwise dry semi-arid and arid landscapes. The hydrology of many …

Water quality and river connectivity influence fisheries, but their role is not understood in wild
crayfish harvest, or how water quality and river connectivity are incorporated into crayfish …
