Floodplains are prone to plant invasions, which increase their roughness and decrease their
flood conveyance capacity. In recent decades, extremely high floods have occurred in the …

River flooding has become a major issue in the last decades, placing at risk wide portions of
the planet. Modeled scenarios are the most helpful tools to reduce flood hazard; …

Flood conveyance of floodplains is significantly influenced by the riparian vegetation cover,
since vegetation affects flow velocity, therefore has a considerable impact on flood height …

Since the beginning of the 20th century, man has domesticated his environment and caused
the modification of hydraulic conditions during floods. In parallel, civil engineering has …

On artificially confined floodplains, various active processes influence the local peak flow
level. However, these active processes are often neglected in flood management because …

Tomasz Kałuża received his PhD in 2000 and DSc title in 2011 from the Poznan University
of Life Sciences (Poland). He is the head of the section of hydraulic engineering in …

Here, we show for one of the Dutch Rhine River branches that large-scale riverine
ecosystem rehabilitation and related vegetation succession may lead to up to 0.6 m higher …

Over the last 200 years the condition of Australia's streams has changed dramatically. The
removal of massive volumes of woody debris and the impoverishment of native riparian …

Floodplains are complex and dynamic ecological systems, and two important components of
these systems, the hydrology and vegetation are closely linked. The aim of this work was …

The high nature conservation value of floodplain ecosystems is severely threatened by
invasive alien species. Besides adversely affecting native biodiversity, these species also …
