Dramatic decrease of flood frequency in the Mekong Delta due to river-bed mining and dyke construction
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-06-25)
Here we present a proof of concept evaluation of the impacts of riverbed-mining on river-wetland connectivity by analyzing the temporal trends of the flood frequencies in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), while accounting ...
Global projections of river flood risk in a warmer world
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-02)
Rising global temperature has put increasing pressure on understanding the linkage between atmospheric warming and the occurrence of natural hazards. While the Paris Agreement has set the ambitious target to limiting global ...
Time is on our side: The importance of considering a recovery period when assessing flooding tolerance in plants
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-09)
There is wide consensus about the significance of monitoring plant responses during flooding when evaluating specific tolerance. Nonetheless, plant recovery once water recedes has often been overlooked. This note highlights ...
Waterlogging as an environmental filter to tree recruitment in tropical wet grasslands
(2021-01-01)
Wet grasslands from the Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) are open-canopy vegetation dominated by subshrubs and herbaceous plants. Although they frequently occur between gallery forests and savannas, tree species are rarely ...
Ability to recover overrides the negative effects of flooding on growth of tropical grasses Chloris gayana and Panicum coloratum
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-01)
This study assessed the flooding tolerance of the tropical grasses Chloris gayana Kunth and Panicum coloratum L. at different times of the year: (i) late winter flooding for 50 days (WF), (ii) early spring flooding (SF) ...
Effects of the flooding gradient on tree community diversity in varzea forests of the purus river, central Amazon, Brazil
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-03-01)
Amazonian floodplain forests have remarkable variation in tree diversity and structure related to flood duration. We assessed how floodplain forests respond to the continuum flooding gradient and found that Fisher's values ...

Do Aquatic Macrophytes Limit the Invasion Potential of Exotic Species in Pantanal Grasslands?
(2019-01-01)
Natural disturbances have the potential to limit exotic species invasions. The exotic grass, Urochloa humidicola, has high propagation potential following seasonal flooding, but, flooding tends to reduce the cover. Neither ...
Flooding tolerance of Tabebuia cassinoides: Metabolic, morphological and growth responses
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2009-01-01)
Tabebuia cassinoides (Lam.) DC (Bignoniaceae) is a tree species that occurs in swampy areas of the coastal "restinga" in SE Brazil (a coastal sandy plains scrub and forest formation). To elucidate possible adaptive strategies ...
