Landscape configuration and flood frequency influence invasive shrubs in floodplain forests of the Wisconsin River (USA)
1. Invasive species are present worldwide, yet predicting which invasive species will become problematic in which ecosystems remains an important ecological challenge. Floodplains are at particular risk for invasion, especially when subjected to anthropogenic disturbance. 2. We examined how components of flood regime, habitat quality and habitat configuration influenced the presence and abundan...
متن کاملEffect of Flood Regime on Tree Growth in the Floodplain and Surrounding Uplands of the Wisconsin River
Flood regime and vegetation flood tolerance interact to influence tree growth in riverine landscapes. We studied tree growth in floodplain and upland forests of theWisconsin River. About a century ago, levees set back from the river were constructed on this floodplain. The levee restricts some floodplain area from overbank flood events, but leaves a portion of active floodplain still inundated ...
متن کاملIndia: Flood Management - Damodar River Basin
Information is provided about the approach and experience in flood management in the Damodar river basin of India. This is achieved through a scheme for the integrated operation of a number of reservoirs on that river and on its tributaries for the purpose of irrigation, hydropower generation and flood protection. Of particular interest is the recent change in policy towards a multi-disciplinar...
متن کاملFlood Risk and River Basin Management
The aim of this study is to identify the sources of uncertainty that induce the largest uncertainties in the model outcomes and quantify this uncertainty using expert elicitation. Analysis of expert opinions showed that the Qh-relation and the roughness predictor of the main channel cause the largest uncertainties for design water level computations. For effect studies, the floodplain topograph...
متن کاملAdaptive Flood Warning and River Management
Recent research carried out in CRES has produced a data-based modelling approach to the adaptive forecasting of river flow or levels using rainfall or upstream flow inputs as leading indicators. This approach, which is based on the estimation of a general transfer function model from historical data, has significant advantages over existing flood forecasting methods: for example, on-line adjust...
