The resilience of a floodplain vegetation landscape

Rajendra L. Shilpakar et al.

Summary: This study examines the resilience of floodplain vegetation communities over medium and long term times scales by analyzing the spatial organization of different vegetation communities. The results show substantial changes in the extent and spatial configuration of vegetation communities over a 40-year period, with many transitions between flood dependent and non-flood dependent vegetation communities. However, there is a trend towards transitions to cleared vegetation, indicating a loss of system resilience in some areas of the floodplain.

Safeguarding freshwater life beyond 2020: Recommendations for the new global biodiversity framework from the European experience

Charles B. van Rees et al.

Summary: Plans are underway for the next decade of action on biodiversity, with a focus on freshwater biodiversity. Despite being disproportionately threatened, freshwater biodiversity has not received enough attention in policies and strategies. It is crucial for future actions to prioritize the unique ecology and threats facing freshwater ecosystems, and to incorporate recommendations based on past experiences and recent literature.
