DOI: 10.1002/rra.3510
Abstract: Abstract Multi-annual contemporary flood event overbank sedimentation rates were quantified on the World's third largest river in terms of discharge, the tropical lower Orinoco. We discuss the role of variables at the basin and reach… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3740
Abstract: In dry ecoregions, trees are restricted to river valley floodplains where river water supplements the limited local precipitation. Around the Northern Hemisphere, cottonwoods, riparian poplars, are often predominant trees in floodplain forests and these ecological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-018-9654-7
Abstract: Inland aquatic ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, processing a great fraction of the organic matter coming from terrestrial ecosystems, and the microbial food web is crucial in this process. Thus,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02352-z
Abstract: North American invasions of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Russian olive) are still expanding, and hydrochory could be increasing invasion impacts along rivers. Spatial association between riverine flood-inundation patterns and E. angustifolia distributions suggests a link between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-020-8077-9
Abstract: Vegetable gardening in floodplains in western Nigeria has assumed economic significance but with attendant pressure on urban field in the dry season. This study assessed soil properties and bioconcentration of cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11269-017-1731-5
Abstract: Large river basins influence the development of human populations either by interfering with population growth or by providing a valuable resource that supports population growth. The Paraíba do Sul River catchment (55,400 km2) in southeastern Brazil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-018-1070-1
Abstract: Effects of river regulation on floodplain ecosystems are understudied, despite the importance of connectivity between these two ecosystems. We investigated the effects of river regulation on a floodplain specialist, Neoporus spp. (Coleoptera: Dytsicidae), regarding its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.08.030
Abstract: Abstract Floodplain ecosystems across the world have declined with river regulation and floodplain development, reducing flood frequency and extent and fragmenting flood-dependent vegetation. There is growing evidence that these changes to flooding disproportionately affect terrestrial… read more here.
