- Title
Physiological-ecological impacts of flooding on riparian forest ecosystems.
- Authors
KOZLOWSKI, THEODORE T.
- Abstract
Focuses on riparian forest ecosystems and their high productivity of biomass, their biodiversity, and ecological services including control of floods and erosion, removal of nutrients from agricultural runoff, alleviation of pollution effects, and as habitats for birds and mammals. Impact of flooding cycles on regeneration and sustainability of these ecosystems; Impact of disruption of intermittent river flow in downstream forest productivity and ecological services and early tree mortality; Impact of flooding on upstream forests including changes in respiration, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, mineral nutrition, and hormone relations; View that there is an urgent need for developing more integrated and holistic flood-management policies.
