Zooplankton were sampled in the pelagic region of 15 <i>veredas</i> in April 2018. The zooplankton total community showed a distribution related to spatial and environmental factors. For Rotifera the relative importance of environmental factors was greater, while Cladocera and Copepoda were more structured by space. The community was still structured according to the Gleasonian model of distribution, where Rotifera presented a Gleasonian structure, Cladocera quasi-Gleasonian, and Copepoda quasi-nested random. The influence of environmental and spatial factors and the resulting structure of the zooplankton metacommunity seem to be directly related to the dispersal capacity in each group. Differences in relative importance of the factors that shaped the community highlight the idiosyncratic characteristics of zooplankton species.

A critical aspect of their restoration is reintroducing flooding via dike relocation, as implemented at the Elbe River near Lenzen/Germany. How forest development is influenced by dike relocation is still unclear and difficult to predict. Inside the dike relocation area at the Elbe River, most trees were planted. Due to high tree mortality, we asked if the relative elevation of the planted trees and thus the number of flooding days inside the relocation area was comparable to the prevailing flooding regime in the surrounding active floodplain. Therefore, the positions of <i>Ulmus laevis, Quercus robur</i>, and <i>Crataegus monogyna</i> individuals were recorded using a DGPS and merged with a digital terrain model. Subsequently, relative elevations and numbers of flooding days per year and growing season (averages for 2011–2017) were calculated. The most flooding tolerant species, <i>U. laevis</i>, occurred at the lowest sites and tolerated the highest number of flooding days, followed by <i>Q. robur</i>, and finally by the least flooding tolerant species <i>C. monogyna</i>. All three species occurred at lower sites inside the dike relocation area and were exposed to longer flooding durations compared to sites outside the area. This was due to the complex morphology of this area and its special flooding and flow dynamics, which differed from the conditions in the surrounding active floodplain. Although the mean flooding duration was within the growth range of hardwood floodplain forests (Ficario-Ulmetum), most individuals may not have established at the planted sites under natural conditions. Therefore, we recommend not relying only on plantings but also allowing natural succession. Then, species that can cope with the hydrological site characteristics may also establish in the long term.</p>","PeriodicalId":54928,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Hydrobiology","volume":"107 1-2","pages":"100-107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/iroh.202002078","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43377452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, they have been heavily modified by land use, technical flood protection measures, and hydropower installations. Fish species requiring specific habitats to complete their life cycle have strongly declined and therefore become target species of river restoration measures. This study compared abiotic conditions and fish community composition of three bank habitat types in a large alpine river, comprising different degrees of alteration compared to the natural state (concrete profile, bank riprap, and naturally restored riverbank). Significant differences in abiotic habitat characteristics such as bed material, water depth, turbidity, submerged vegetation, and temperature were detected between the three bank habitat types and sampling seasons. These water level-dependent structural changes had the strongest effect on fish community composition as detected by distance-based linear modeling. Small specimens between 3 and 13 cm TL and juveniles were most abundant in the restored areas, except for <i>Lota lota</i>, which was most abundant in the man-made bank riprap. Target species of conservation were mostly detected in restored areas, particularly the critical young life stages of <i>Chondrostoma nasus</i>, <i>Barbus barbus</i>, and <i>Thymallus thymallus</i>. Water level strongly determined accessibility and suitability of bank habitats, with shallow, gravel-dominated habitats comprising flat bank angles being most beneficial for these species. The findings of this study provide evidence for the success of bank habitat restoration in structurally impacted alpine rivers on target species of conservation.

Thus, floodplains are a key to improving river water quality. Yet, the factors that determine the amount of fine sediment that deposits on floodplains are largely unknown. Plant diversity typically increases structural diversity, whereas the vegetation structure and the structural characteristics of individual species are known to influence sedimentation. We hypothesised that species diversity, in addition to species identity, may promote sediment retention. Our study aimed to disentangle the effects of species richness and species identity, via differences in vegetation structure, on sediment retention within herbaceous vegetation patches. In a flume experiment, we investigated sedimentation on 30 vegetation patches (40 × 60 cm²). We created patches with five different species-richness levels (3, 4, 6, 8, and 11 species), each replicated six times. Species were randomly selected from 14 common floodplain species. We inundated the patches with silt- and clay-rich water and measured the amount of accumulated sediment on the vegetation and on the ground underneath it. Species richness significantly increased sedimentation underneath the vegetation (<i>R</i>² = 0.17). However, including species identity effects in a structural equation model, we showed that individual species' presence largely drove these effects. <i>Alopecurus pratensis</i> had a direct negative effect on sedimentation on the vegetation, whereas <i>Bromus inermis</i> and <i>Elymus repens</i> had indirect positive effects through an increase in total biomass (<i>R</i>² = 0.42). <i>Elymus repens</i> had a direct negative, and <i>Urtica dioica</i> a direct positive effect on sedimentation underneath the vegetation (<i>R</i>² = 0.38).
