Floodplains include unique environments shaped over a long time horizon along rivers and
smaller streams and formed by alluvial sediments. As floodplains are flat, often with highly …

Worldwide, flow regimes are being modified by various anthropogenic impacts and climate
change induces an additional risk. Rising temperatures, declining snow cover and changing …

An appropriate hydrological regime within a wetland is essential to maintain its goods and
services. This regime is related to the source of the water, which differs for particular kinds of …

Projection of future changes in river flow regimes and their impact on river ecosystem health
is a major research challenge. This paper assesses the implications of projected future shifts …

Water balance quantifies the inflows and outflows in a river basin, crucial for assessing the
water resources of a given area. Quantified water balance should therefore be the key step …

Riparian wetlands have been disappearing at an accelerating rate. Their ecological integrity
as well as their vital ecosystem services for humankind depend on regular patterns of …

The integration of water management goals in protected wetland areas agriculturally
managed in an intensive manner recalls the comparison of apples (ecological values) and …

Many riparian ecosystems in European temperate regions have lost their inherent, highly
dynamic character due to human-induced impacts such as river channelization and flow …

Accurate awareness of how rainfall, land use changes, and soil types control water fluxes in
agricultural floodplains remains a crucial challenge in water resource research. This study …

Effective stakeholder involvement is crucial for the management of protected areas,
especially when new challenges like adaptation to climate change need to be addressed …
