Climate change is expected to alter the occurrence of extreme climatic events, including
major floods. Future shifts in the frequency and intensity of extreme floods will vary by region …

The results of the numerical simulations of the dynamics of shallow waters for Volga-
Akhtuba Floodplain are discussed. The mathematical model is based on the system of Saint …

Globally, multiple stressors acting on large rivers strongly influence their ecosystem
functions. They do so by altering both their biodiversity and integrity, which may in turn …

Large river–floodplain systems are characterised by seasonal flow variability. High flows
lead to hydrological connection between the main channel and inundated off‐channel lakes …

Aquatic species face imperilment at a disproportionate rate compared with terrestrial
organisms and are experiencing rapid rates of extinction. For aquatic organisms, large-scale …

We applied a multiscale approach to understand the patterns of longitudinal, lateral, and
temporal variability in fish assemblage structure of a large floodplain river and explored their …

Floodplain ecosystems host diverse surface‐water habitats (eg, lotic, lentic, ephemeral) and
groundwater features that support high levels of species diversity. Our understanding of …

The Volga is the longest river in Europe and 16th longest in the world. The riverine
landscape of the Volga is of exceptional scientific and economic importance to Russia; the …

Both geomorphic setting and dynamic environmental variables influence riverine wetland
vegetation distributions. Most studies of species distributions in riverine systems emphasize …

This study aims to complement existing fish-based assessment approaches by classifying
European lampreys and fish species according to their probability of occurrence in six …
