Stream and river restoration practices have become common in many parts of the world. We
ask the question whether such restorations improve freshwater biotic assemblages or …

One of the consequences of human impacts on floodplains is a change in sedimentation
leading to enhanced floodplain aggradation. Thus, accumulated sediments rich in nutrients …

Transport and transformation of inorganic nutrients are influenced by abiotic-biotic
interactions and determine downstream water quality. Macrophytes play an important role in …

Abstract Effects of temperature changes on phytoplankton communities seem to be highly
context-specific, but few studies have analyzed whether this context specificity depends on …

We investigated the effects of temporary surface water connections with the main river on the
water chemistry of large and small waterbodies in a Danube floodplain by comparing …

In the last 150 years, the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) floodplain was extensively reduced
in area with conversion of once regularly inundated floodplain wetlands to dry land. Yet …

The floodplains of lowland rivers contain diverse aquatic habitats that provide valuable
ecosystem services but are perturbed when intensively cultivated. Hydrologic, water …

Floodplains are among the most productive habitats in the world and play a major role in the
dynamics and the ecological integrity of riverine landscapes (Tockner et al. 2002). Due to …

The Lobau near Vienna used to be a dynamic floodplain which was cut off from the Danube
River in the course of regulation measures in the 19th century. In order to compensate for …

Tidal streams are attractive candidates for restoration because of their capacity to retain
nutrients from upland and estuarine sources. We quantified N retention in Kimages Creek …
