Streambank and floodplain geomorphic change and contribution to watershed material budgets

G. B. Noe et al.

Summary: This study used dendrogeomorphology to measure long-term streambank erosion, floodplain deposition, and sediment fluxes in streams across the U.S. Mid-Atlantic. The results showed that geomorphic change and resulting sediment and nutrient fluxes were influenced by land use and watershed characteristics. The findings provide important insights into the balance of erosion and deposition in disturbed landscapes and the impact of geomorphic change on stream water quality and carbon sequestration.

Geomorphic Controls on Floodplain Connectivity, Ecosystem Services, and Sensitivity to Climate Change: An Example From the Lower Missouri River

Robert B. Jacobson et al.

Summary: Floodplains of large rivers are utilized for various purposes, but the occurrence of frequent floods has led to the consideration of managing these floodplains for ecosystem services. A study conducted on the Lower Missouri River in the USA found that the inundation metrics and their spatial distribution are influenced by geomorphic adjustments and climate change. The capacity of floodplain connectivity to influence ecosystem services varies significantly along the river and may be affected by climate change.

Assessment of Ecosystem Services of Wetlands of the Volga-Akhtuba Floodplain

Alexander Belyaev et al.

Summary: This study examines the economic significance of water wetland measures in Russia, specifically focusing on the economic value of their ecosystem goods and services. The research aims to assess the monetary benefits that the Lower Volga region will receive from wetland ecosystem services as a result of the rehabilitation of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain. The findings highlight the high importance of wetland irrigation measures in improving the environment quality and addressing social issues in the region.

Inequities in the distribution of flood risk under floodplain restoration and climate change scenarios

Jesse D. Gourevitch et al.

Summary: The combined impacts of climate change and ecological degradation are projected to increase inequality within society, particularly in terms of flood risk. Low-income and socially vulnerable populations tend to suffer more from flood damages, and climate change is expected to increase the number of people exposed to flood risk and cause greater property damages. Restoration of floodplains can mitigate these impacts, but the distribution of future risks among different types of property owners is often uncertain.

Analysing the potential to restore the multi-functionality of floodplain systems by considering ecosystem service quality, quantity and trade-offs

Andrea Funk et al.

Summary: River floodplains are important for productivity and biodiversity, with restoration measures aiming to re-establish multi-functionality by evaluating the diversity and quantity of ecosystem services. Results show clear synergies between regulating ecosystem services and cultural ecosystem services, indicating high potential for increasing the overall multi-functionality of the floodplain system through the support of specific services.

An Integrative Conceptualization of Floodplain Storage

Ellen Wohl

Summary: Floodplains perform various functions, such as reducing the flow of water, solutes, and particulate material, with critical details influenced by biogeochemical processes and biotic communities. The storage of diverse materials in floodplains can be conceptualized through budgeting, improving resilience to various disturbances.

Thematic accuracy assessment of the NLCD 2016 land cover for the conterminous United States

James Wickham et al.

Summary: NLCD is an operational land cover monitoring program in the United States, with data collected every five years. The accuracy of land cover components in the NLCD2016 database was assessed using reference data for 2011 and 2016, showing overall accuracies around 72% for Level II and 79% for Level I components. The changes in mapping methodologies for NLCD2016 led to improved product quality compared to NLCD2011, with overall accuracies 4% to 7% higher.
